Reese, Ryan F.; Webster, Lindsay C.; Biles, Kathy
Professional School Counseling, v22 n1 2018
Nature positively impacts holistic wellness and K-12 student learning, although this phenomenon has largely been unstudied in school counseling. School counselors are in a unique position to champion nature connection in school communities to promote holistic wellness and positive learning outcomes. This article introduces EcoWellness as a framework for strategically infusing nature throughout the comprehensive school counseling program. We discuss strategies for school counseling practice and implications for school counselor preparation and research.
