Counseling in Schools

03/03/2026

March is National Social Work Month 💙

At Counseling in Schools (CIS), we are proud to recognize the dedicated social workers who show up every day to support students’ mental health, strengthen families, and build more equitable school communities.

From crisis response to everyday encouragement, school social workers play a vital role in helping young people feel seen, heard, and supported. Their compassion, expertise, and advocacy create lasting impact far beyond the classroom.

This month, we celebrate your commitment, resilience, and unwavering belief in the potential of every student. Thank you for the work you do — in our schools and in our communities.

Anamarija Vuic, CAT-LP (MA, MPsych) brings Drama Therapy into the school counseling space through structured, creative assessment tools designed to support adolescent voice and emotional safety.
Her workshop explores drama therapy–based interventions for assessment and goal setting, offering both experiential and practical strategies that create a distanced, contained environment where students can share more freely in early counseling stages.

Participants gain a deeper understanding of projective techniques, aesthetic distance, and arts-based assessment approaches that strengthen insight, engagement, and therapeutic connection in middle and high school settings.
