Experiences of School Counselor Mothers: A Phenomenological Investigation
Hermann, Mary A.; Walsh, Robyn L.; Underwood, Jennifer W.
Professional School Counseling, v22 n1 2018
Researchers have identified some of the benefits and challenges working mothers experience. This phenomenological study extends this line of research to school counselor mothers. Themes highlighted include benefits of combining school counselor and motherhood roles, instances of role incompatibility, and strategies for managing multiple roles. We also provide suggestions for advocacy efforts to further support working mothers and to address the challenges specific to school counselor mothers.
