ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:

California school counselors are employed in public and private schools to help pupils reach their full potential.
School counselors deliver a range of services to reduce mental health stigma, identify risk factors and warning signs of pupils at risk for mental health and behavioral disorders, and provide counseling services to strengthen pupils’ prospects for school and life success.
School counselors provide high-quality career education programs from kindergarten through grade 12 that promote the link between learning and future career choices, including career technical education.
The citizens of California should recognize the vital role that the over 13,000 school counselors play in the social, emotional, career, and academic development of our children.
