Evidence-Based School Counseling: Embracing Challenges/Changes to the Existing Paradigm

This special edition of Professional School Counseling presents some of the key proceedings from the ninth annual Evidence-Based School Counseling Conference. This article offers both an overview of the content of this issue and—in this complex world context we now inhabit—new ideas for ways to use evidence-based school counseling (EBSC) to support the emotional well-being and future success of our students, families, and school colleagues. We include some possible ways to do antiracist and social justice-focused school counseling from an EBSC lens and offer several suggestions for updates to the EBSC lens itself.
