Calling all School Counseling Graduates


Calling all School Counseling Graduates:
School Counseling Professional Development in Italy

Verona Counseling Institutes (VCI) has just announced a unique school counseling professional development opportunity for Spring of 2019 that will be held in Verona, Italy.  Up to 30 school counselors from the US will have the opportunity to participate in the 2019 Spring VCI Institute focusing on Best Practices in School Counseling in Italy and the United States.

The 2019 Institute will meet April 15-19, 2019, when most school districts in the US are on Spring recess. The program includes both professional workshops and unique cultural experiences.

Program organizer Dr. John Carey explained that Institute’s participants will learn about best practices in school counseling in Italy, develop collegial relationships with Italian school counselors, and experience the beauty of Verona and the rich culture of northern Italy.

VCI staff will advise participants regarding travel plans and affordable accommodations.  The Institute schedule will enable participants to either return to the US for Easter, or extend their stay in Italy through the Easter holidays.

More information is available on the Institute’s website (https://www.veronacounseling.org) and blog (https://veronacounselinginstitutes.wordpress.com).

VCI was founded to create high quality, affordable programs that promote mutual understanding and international collaborations for both counseling practitioners and counselor educators. VCI will offer yearly themed institutes for practitioners (Spring) and counselor educations (Fall) in Verona Italy to take advantage of the city’s outstanding facilities, rich cultural heritage, incredible beauty, and central location.
