School Counselors’ Roles and Responsibilities in Bullying Prevention: A National Survey

Abstract

We examined school counselors’ perceptions of their roles and responsibilities in addressing bullying. This study also investigated the prevalence of bullying prevention training, policies and laws, and various school problems. School counselors reported differences between their perceptions of their roles and responsibilities and what they believe are their principals’ expectations of school counselors. We discuss the results, implications for school counselors, and recommendations for research.
