Call to action: Counselors for Change believes that we all have the capacity to be a counselor ~ one who advocates for the well-being of others. At the root of well-being is a world that is just, equitable, and safe. Awareness and education through open dialogue and leaning into the uncomfortable places is where change happens. We cannot change what we do not see or choose not to see. We invite you to join us to be a part of that Change. Be a “Counselor”. Have tough conversations, speak up, speak out, be accountable, advocate, take action, learn, grow, be compassionate, be kind.
