As the Oregon School Counselor Association, we are committed to supporting school counselors in all parts of their work with students, families, and their communities. Although our state is vast and varied, our hope is that the following curated resources will be useful to you in your work. Many of these resources have been created and vetted through the American School Counselor Association and are of the highest quality and research.

We encourage you to review these resources and use what works best for you and your community. If you know of another useful resource, please feel free to share it in the Community section of our site. If you believe a resource is missing from this list, please email info@oscainc.org.

We are with you.
