In recognition of National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11), we're proud to share When a Student Comes Out: Responding With Trust, Care and Affirmation, a resource developed through collaboration between ASCA and the Human Rights Campaign's Welcoming Schools program.

This guide offers school counselors and educators practical strategies for responding supportively when a student shares an important part of their identity.

A special thank you to the ASCA Ethics and Position Statements Committee members who helped develop this resource and ensure it reflects the profession's commitment to supporting all students.

In this episode of I Hear You Say, recorded live at the ASCA Annual Conference in New Orleans, hosts Jill Cook and Janae Douglas welcome Angela Avery, a longtime school counselor and leader at Sanford Middle School in Southern Maine, an adjunct faculty member at the University of Southern Maine, and the 2016 Maine School Counselor of the Year. Avery discusses why su***de prevention should extend beyond crisis response, with school counselors taking a proactive role in strengthening protective factors such as connection, belonging, coping skills, help-seeking, and bullying prevention. The conversation explores how tiered supports can help counselors recognize early warning signs, including isolation, bullying, truancy, and a lack of meaningful connections with peers or trusted adults.
