School Counselors Use Of Creative Interventions With Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Students, Loidaly M. González-Rosario

Creative interventions have been successfully used with various populations who share similar communicative barriers to service. However, little is known about how school counselors meet the socioemotional needs of CLDS and what factors contribute to the use of creative interventions in school counseling. One …

This study addressed how school counselors who were trained in CACREP-accredited programs experience the response to student …
