It is with pride and pleasure that we welcome you to the Lake County Counselors Association for the 2020-21 school year. This vibrant association has almost one hundred and twenty five members. LCCA is an organization made up of dedicated and hard working professionals who go above and beyond to assist students and their families throughout Lake County. We are proud to be members and we hope you are too.

Just a reminder that we are excited for our Lake County Counselors new counselor and intern welcoming on Monday, October 19th at 3:30 PM. There is still time to register on the attached flyer. You are welcome to join us even without registering, but it helps us to know how many individuals to expect. Board members please complete the form as well. The Zoom information is below. Special thanks to Sarah Kelly (Libertyville), Colleen Newton (Zion-Benton) and Natasha Rosenak (Vernon Hills) for their efforts to plan the event. We would love to see a big crowd!
Our Lake County Counselors Association hopes you are adjusting to the new school year. Looking back, we were excited to see possibly a record number of LCCA members last year, over 120. We appreciate your support and look forward to future programming. Our board met recently and agreed that we will be rolling over membership from 19-20 to 20-21. If you already paid at our annual conference for the 2020-2021 school year, it will also be credited to 2021-2022. We simply are uncertain of what our professional development options will be in the short term. Our goal is to continue with Member Monday Zoom sessions once a month where counselors can come together to ask questions, hear what other districts are implementing, and just casually chat with colleagues. Tentatively mark down November 16th at 3:30. Invites for a virtual welcoming to our new counselors and interns will also be coming soon. Finally, we will be sure to share any opportunities that might be worth exploring. With that in mind, here are a few updates...
-Elyssa's Mission partnered with Chicago Behavioral Hospital to offer a free "Back to School" Teacher Support Group. It is specifically geared towards K-12 teachers, so might be worth passing along to your staff. Teachers can register for as few or many sessions as they like.
-Waukegan District 60 is hiring BAM counselors.
-Many of us are members of a private Facebook Group for high school counselors and college admission reps. There are a wide variety of posts from individuals across the world and often very educational to read the responses.
