  • how equipping educators with relationship skills can make school counselors jobs easier and better
  • how the best student SEL is actually educator SEL

A podcast for school counselors, Counselor Accents is hosted by Kim Crumbley and Laura Rankhor, two self-proclaimed "counselors who love our jobs, and we happen to have southern accents, bless our hearts." Tune in for a fun conversation where they chat with Megan and Kelley of FuelEd about how educators can heal student trauma through relationships, and the need for educators to first do their own healing.

The most efficient, powerful, loving way to approach student SEL is through teacher SEL
