About book

This book calls for re-examining traditional school counseling and moving toward embracing abolition within the profession. School counseling can’t reform its way to liberation. We need to create something new, something different. The authors argue that school counselors, who are regularly tasked with teaching students to assimilate to schooling with a hyper-focus on individual grit and decontextualized self-management skills, often use various methods of control, emphasized without question within the profession. This book provides an orientation to abolitionist school counseling and draws from lessons the authors have learned from school counselors practicing abolition across K-12 levels. Chapters cover the current state of policing and the school-to-prison nexus, surveillance, harm reduction, community care, mutual aid, liberatory futures, and more. Abolition in School Counseling invites school counselors to probe the impossible and find ways to build liberation in schools today.
