Connecting with Families Through the Trust Your Journey Project

Indra Owens, is well deserving of the New Jersey School Counselor of the Year title!  In this episode she talks about how she connected with families and broke through the mental health stigma barrier.  Indra started the Trust Your Journey project during the remote learning days of Covid in 2020.  Her transparency showed other families in her urban community that it’s ok to ask for help and depend on others.  Her approach to connecting with families has generated a trust in school counseling in her community.  Now parents are encouraging their children to talk with the school counselor!
