THE SUPPORT COUNSELORS REALLY NEED
What Makes Our Program Different
Research: Our resources are created based not only on experience and best practices, but also on what the research tells us about what works when it comes to social emotional learning and children’s mental health.
Made by Counselors, For Counselors:Â School counseling and school social work are unique roles that require lessons, activities, and tools created specifically for you by those that understand the specific needs.
Continuous Improvement: The world changes, schools change, and students change. We regularly review and update our curriculums to match the changing needs of students.
Ongoing Professional Development: Our support for counselors doesn’t end with providing you with resources – we create digestible and applicable trainings each month to increase counselor confidence and effectiveness.

"I’ve always loved resources by The Responsive Counselor… so it was a no-brainer to sign up for this. It’s saved me so much time when I am looking for resources to work with a student on a specific skill. I can easily download it, review it, and decide if it is what I’m looking for or to try a different resource - no more wasting money since it’s all included! I can’t wait to explore more of the professional development this summer too! YCC saves me time and money, and provides me research-based resources for ALL my students!"

"This is my first year being a school counselor. The portal is so easy to use and find resources through. It has helped me tremendously! I love being able to find everything I need in one place. I also love the book database. It helps whenever I am going to be meeting with a student individually and need a book on a specific topic. Also, the teachers in my school have raved about my lessons and how practical and useful they are. I am always quick to say that my curriculum does such a great job! Thank you for providing such amazing resources. I am so grateful!"

“I love having access to data-driven resources at all times. The lessons are easy to print and go, and the tools are great for any counselor trying to get/stay organized. I feel like I’ve subscribed to a lot of different resource memberships, and this one is definitely my favorite so far!”

“Before becoming a member of YCC, I used the Responsive Counselor resources because I enjoyed using them and the resources met the needs of my program and my students. It is wonderful having the resources in one location identified according to topic. I also like the response time when there are questions and concerns. This feels like a group of friends supporting each other."
