Here's What to Expect In This Episode:

The ASCA conference is coming up in July in Austin, Texas for school counselors from all over the nation to gather, share, and learn together!

Iโ€™ve been to two ASCA conferences in the past, and Iโ€™m sharing those experiences in this episode.ย 

I also talk about 5 tips for first-timers or those who just want a refresher about what to expect or what may help make the ASCA conference trip a success!

If youโ€™re still debating going, know that itโ€™s absolutely worth it! I wonโ€™t be there this year, but Iโ€™m hoping to get there next year!
