Your Turn: Counseling can offer beneficial outside opinions for mental health
Apr. 17, 2007April is Counseling Awareness Month. While this month is dedicated to understanding the importance of counseling, it is equally important to advocate for the profession and its available services all year round. As I think about myself nine months ago before I began the Counselor Education program, I often asked myself what the point of counseling was. Between the normal banter of first-time meetings when someone would ask what I was going to school for, I was often faced with a blank stare or a puzzled look. No one I talked to knew the program existed and if they did, they had no idea what it was for. So through my words and the statements of the American Counseling Association, the public can be made more aware of what the profession is and what it has to offer.

Your Turn: Sports cuts a dishonest case of expenses exceeding income
Apr. 16, 2007If I told you I earned $250,000 per year (unfortunately I don't), you might be impressed.

Regardless of how impressive my income might be, the real bottom line of my finances is income minus expenses. When expenses exceed income, a deficit occurs.
