I’m looking for CHQ Podcast Guests!!!

You don’t have to be an expert!! I’m looking for real-world examples that other counselors can relate to. We want to hear from you!

Here are some topics I am looking for guests for:

  • Collaboration between School and Clinical Counselors - Have you had a great experience collaborating? I’d love to chat with you about it!

  • Carrying Work Home - Do you have a great way that counselors can release that emotional baggage of work before they take it home? Do you have tried and true ways to help counselors release some of the emotional weight they carry? Tell us about it!

  • Practical Counseling Strategies - I know we counselors like to think outside of the box but also not reinvent the wheel! Have you created or found something that works well with your clients or students that you’d love to share with others?

  • Family Systems - This topic is so important! What have you found that works well when working with families? How do you navigate difficult family conversations? We’d love to hear your voice!

  • Resources and Collaboration - Are you a business or organization that works closely with counselors? How do you collaborate? What have been your successes? Are you a counselor who has a positive, established relationship with a business or organization that shares resources? We want to know!
