Counseling is a relatively young profession when compared to other mental health professions. In my brief personal and professional experience with the field, I have come to define counseling as a process of engagement between two people, both of whom are bound to change through a collaborative process that involves both the therapist and the client in co-constructing solutions to concerns.

While reading this week’s assignment I contemplated issues the counseling profession may face in the future. After reading about multicultural awareness, one matter that came to mind was the increase number of gangs in the United States. According to the FBI, gangs contribute to about 48% of crime and include over 1.4 million American members as of 2011. With 33,000 gangs across America, counselors everywhere will be faced with people who are affected by gang related crime (FBI, 2014). How will we handle this gang war? This is a frightening issue in which I have no idea where to begin unraveling. What I do know is students in my school may be pressured to join a gang or already have. Being aware of these students

As a professional school counselor, I will have both the ability and responsibility to assist children and adolescents in the imperative task of taking responsibility for growth that nurtures self-esteem and effective functioning. I must accept responsibility for improving educational practices through continuing my own education and participating in professional development activities. Providing children with a positive school experience paves the way for a more successful academic career. This is done in a professional manner that fosters personal growth and academic success regardless of race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, physical or mental ability.

After graduating from The University of Alaska Fairbanks with my bachelors’ degree in social work in 2012, I have decided to continue my education in order to reach my goal of becoming a school counselor. I have a strong desire to help people, and children in particular. After graduating with my degree in social work I immediately became immersed in the field and started working for a local non-profit agency, The Resource Center for Parents and Children. There I worked as a Family Services Worker, working with parents and children who were involved with the Office of Children Services. In this position I worked with parents to educate them on healthy and safe parenting and life skills. I also facilitated visitation between parents and children to help continue the parent child bond while working with the Office of Children Services to mitigate any safety concerns the family may be experiencing.
