BrainWise Session at the 51st Colorado School Counselors’ Association Conference

Posted On: October 19, 2015

School counselors have been longtime BrainWise champions and supporters, and helped pilot the first courses taught to at-risk teens. Today, they continue to be the largest group of program users. The BrainWise team presented a session at the 2015 Colorado School Counselors’ Association Conference, and received high evaluations from participants.

Afterwards, some of the counselors talked about how they planned to introduce BrainWise throughout their schools, and how they will work to create a school-wide culture that reinforces the concepts. These outstanding educators help students deal with formidable issues on a daily basis, and live up the conference’s theme: School Counselors: The Super Heroes of Education.
