Addressing K-12 Student's Academic, Mental Health, and Career Development Needs During COVID-19

Schools provide a place for children and their families to receive services; however, even though students can’t go to school they still have academic, mental health, and career development needs. As such, the immediate and long-term impact of closing schools on students due to COVID-19 needs to be understood. In our study, we used consensual qualitative research to explore how school counselors addressed these needs of K-12 students during the outbreak of COVID-19. The results of our study will have immediate and future implications for school counselors and more importantly the students they serve.
