Crisis-Specific Peer Supervision of School Counselors: The P-SAEF Model

Abstract

School counselors are called upon to respond to an array of crisis situations involving the potential for imminent harm. Many school counselors report inadequate preparation for crisis intervention (Allen et al., 2002; King et al., 1999), and few school counselors participate in clinical supervision (Page et al., 2001). P-SAEF, a practical peer supervision model for school counselors who work with students at risk for imminent harm, is presented, and recommendations for implementation are provided.
