Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable – A Conversation with West Ada Counselors
West Ada’s school counselors make a positive impact on our student’s lives every day! Lisa Hale and Sarah Everett are two of them. They join us for a wide-ranging conversation concerning everything from navigating friendships to the mental health challenges facing our kids.
Lisa is a counselor at Paramount Elementary and Sarah is a counselor at Owyhee High School – so we’re discussing a wide range of ages. Buckle up parents, these counselors approach their jobs with empathy, humor, and care – but they face some tough situations and we’re hitting on most of them in this podcast.
