Beth Dudjak, MA, from the , visited the ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ College of Education to conduct a training
                  session with 15 school counseling interns on September 5, 2024. They participated
                  in the  program training, a K-5 evidence-based curriculum for prevention education. This
                  program covers topics such as safety awareness, cyber safety, and bullying prevention,
                  equipping the interns with valuable information and strategies to prevent, recognize,
                  and respond appropriately to all types of bullying and abuse.
During this training, the interns learned five easy-to-remember safety rules and other
                  universal strategies to protect children that are easy and practical to implement.
                  Now, after completing this training, the interns are eligible to use their free curriculum
                  as school counselors.
The participating interns, as students pursuing a Master of Arts (MA) in Counselor Education, a program offered on USF's Tampa campus, have taken a significant step towards their
                  professional goals. This training session is part of a comprehensive effort to provide
                  students with the general counseling skills needed to become professional counselors
                  in elementary, middle, and high schools. Upon completing the program, they will be
                  eligible to become Florida Certified School Counselors, a testament to their hard
                  work and dedication.
