Native Communities Need Indigenous School Counselors and Psychologists

Nearly all children struggle with school at some point but can succeed with appropriate support.

Indigenous school counselors and psychologists possess the ability to affirm children's potential, contribute to their lifelong achievement, and strengthen communities.

These 2 rural partner school districts have previously provided access for NAISC scholars to work with Native American students, parent groups, and tribal communities:

  • Mountain Empire School District (in partnership with Campo Reservation)
  • Valley Center School District

Currently, scholars are completing their fieldwork at Bonsall Unified School District.

 

 

This group of scholars has worked out at our partner site, Mt. Empire School District, in partnership with the Campo Band of Kumeyaay Indians.
