Greetings to all retired counselors! Are you looking for ways to feel productive and energized again?!! I thought so!! For those newly retired, do you feel the urge to continue serving and counseling students in the schools? I can only speak for myself, but retirement was a rude awakening after working since the age of 15! I retired in June and recently returned to work as a part time counselor and I love it! What an awesome opportunity to focus on ONE task instead of the constant multitasking required of school counselors. There are plenty of additional opportunities to reach out and serve the community.

Kates Club has requested the assistance of retired school counselors. This nonprofit organization specializes in offering free grief support to children and teens ages 5-18 who have experienced the death of a parent or sibling. If you would like to facilitate a school grief support group please contact me or Marissa Glonek at 404-347-7619 by phone or email, marissa.glonek@katesclub.org. You can also find more information on the website, https://katesclub.org.

Thank you to all retired counselors for your dedication and years of service for our profession! You earned it!
