I’m in my internship in my last semester of a school counseling graduate program. I went back and forth between SC and SSW before grad school and could not get any real answers on the differences between the two no matter who I asked. Wish this video would’ve been like 2 years sooner 😅 In the end I’m glad I chose counseling because I get to do both the academic/career AND social emotional so it’s been a perfect fit for me 😊 I often have conversations with other counselors and social workers about how much our roles overlap and are similar in what we do so I think anyone considering the two should keep that in mind. Overall you can’t go wrong in a helping profession whether counseling or social work!
Real talk!
I think I’m going to go for my masters in school counseling with LPCC preparation.
Perfect timing!!! I am doing my placement with a elementary school counselor now and I see that SW and counselor are similar. While interning, I find myself doing a lot of behavior interventions. It seems like it’s alot of “therapy” sessions going on when we are handling the interventions .
Definitely confirmed my current role as a school social worker. I run to the drama with my students!
Perfect timing! I just got into my second MSW program today -- looking at going this fall. But I come from a public policy and journalism academic background, and have been working as an elementary teacher assistant for the past year. So I still have lots to consider and figure out!
i also come from a journalism background and going into MSW !
Omg I am so glad I found your video! I am graduating with my BS in Social Services this Spring, and I am unsure if I want to get my masteres in social work or school counseling. The way you broke down the similarities and differences was sooo incredibly helpful! Thank you! Can't wait to watch your other videos
What sounds harder to your ears? 1. Certified Public Accountant or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
I am currently enrolled in a Behavioral Health (Emphasis in Childhood and Adolescence Mental Disorders) Bachelor program. This is my last year, and I was extremely overwhelmed 🤯 and going wicked 😵💫 as I am concerned about entering a Master's program that does not suit me.
However, this video was extremely helpful. The role of a School Social Worker definitely fits my career desires.
Thanks so much for this video. It gave me such a clear vision 🧘♀️💆♀️
This was very helpful! I was a little bit worried that I chose a career that was not suited for me. This video gave me comfort in my decision to become a school social worker. Thank you!!!
Love this video really helpful !
This video helps me a lot thx so much. You are inspiring to me. I have been so confused between very both of them and what I should focus on too cuz I majored in both and I didnt know which route I should choose. Thx a lot.
Omg THANK YOU for this!! I am a high school special ed teacher and I was accepted into an MSW program that starts next month and I’m so torn between pursuing school social work vs school counseling. I sooo needed this video 👏🏽
What did you end up choosing?
Hi Lauren, do you have any ideas about community services? Would love know the difference between SW and community work in practice. I’m from Australia following bachelors of community services.
I'm in an independent school in Australia and it's super different. 90 percent of my time is in individual sessions. However, the role is not called 'school social worker'. See
Are they both hard to get hired in ? I heard school counseling is highly competitive making it harder to get a job ?
Does a school worker get paid through the school or city?
Thanks for the info! Do you know whether school counselors or social workers take more responsibility for students' social-emotional learning? I am very interested in that specific area and I'd like to go into a role that could promote that! Thank you!
Hi! In my district *elementary* counseling is the way to go if you are interested in SEL lessons. good luck to you!! you are needed!😃
I never knew that schools had social workers
I got DD CCC .... hmm
I'd say a counselor is different as they would have likely studied clinical psychology so their expertise is up a notch in this regard from a SW.
