The American Counselor’s Association task force was developed to raise the awareness of counselor impairments during their career in the helping profession (n.d.). This allows the counselor to discover where their own abilities are on a spectrum that ranges from wellness to impairment. Strategies for monitoring such ranges have been implemented and available to counselors to assist them in self-care (Lawson, 2007).

A few years back, she was the counselor in the high school building. Mrs. Curthirds has been a counselor for about 17 years now.

However, Before I even started going into the counseling program. I had the goal to make sure I knew where to draw the line when it comes to helping as a friend and helping as a counselor. Admittedly, I learned this from my own parents growing up as my dad was a licensed counselor and social worker. He knew where to draw the line for himself.

This was surprising to me because some of us are grown to think that people who are mentally ill come from no educational background and this is what I was expecting to see coming here at Gateway counseling center.
