"I think what we see in schools is an increased kind of need for mental and emotional interventions to achieve academic development, so those school counselors are very needed. They would kind of be that first line of mental health work to help students achieve what they would like to achieve and do those early interventions. They also provide referrals to outside counselors and kind of collaborate with them when there's more major mental illness or long-term persistent stuff going on. There's absolutely a need and it's growing and growing"
