Abstract
School counselors are essential in helping students succeed throughout their educational journeys. Many students experience trauma while in school, particularly Black or African American students. Although there is substantial research on school counselors’ perceptions and how they respond to student needs and circumstances, there is limited research on how students perceive their counselors and whether they feel supported during and after traumatic experiences. Using a qualitative phenomenology research design, this study aims to explore the lived experiences of Black or African American students who have faced trauma and the support they may or may not have received from their certified school counselors.
