I had the opportunity to attend the Virginia School Counselor Association (VSCA) Conference on October 17th-October 19th in Hampton, Virginia.  As a school counselor, it was awesome to learn new ways to support students in achieving their social/emotional, academic, and career goals.  I also had the opportunity to learn new activities and techniques to utilize when working with students.  One of my favorite sessions was “Calm Down Smack Down” during this session the participants learned how to create calm down stations for students to utilize during the school day.  I  had the opportunity to create mindfulness bottles and stress balls as part of the “Calm Down Smack Down” session.  Lastly, it was nice to network with counselors from the elementary, middle, and high school level.   I am looking forward to attending the VSCA conference next year!!!
