Counselor educators have a common goal of assisting students to become the best counselors they can be, yet students don't always develop as expected. This session will explore the Counseling Skills Academy (CSA) a proactive approach to counselor training. The goals of this model, its development, strategies, and success factors will be discussed. The CSA is designed to address high levels of anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, and skill implementation challenges that students often encounter. Participants will be invited to share strategies for success in student development.
