School Counseling Student Experience

International Student Facebook Group

The International Student Facebook Group is a virtual hangout and meeting space for the International students (MA Mental Health and School Counseling). Connect with each other, discuss everything psych, mental health, and life! This is a student-only space.

Power in Presence

Power in Presence serves to support the BIPOC community by elucidating the systems of white supremacy, address how it stunts our educational and future career goals, and acknowledge the challenges it presents to how we each identify as persons of color. As such, we strive to fight against anti-blackness and colorism. Our intentions are to actively define and re-define tangible resources geared toward assisting racial minorities within the mental health programs.

Student Counseling Association (SCA)

Student Counseling Association (SCA) was created in Fall 2010. Whether you’re on track in the Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness program or the School Counseling Program and enrolled as either a part-time, full-time, online, first or second-year student -this group is your voice in the department and works to improve your professional development. 

More specifically, our mission is to provide all students in the NYU Steinhardt counseling programs an avenue through which their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and ideas can be heard and proactively presented to the administrative and educational professionals who lead our programs.

We also aim to create professional development opportunities to aid you in building the ultimate resume for your post-NYU career. Equally important, we want everyone to create connections and build their network. Preparing for and beginning your career is definitely hard work, but it should be fun and invigorating at the same time.
