School Counseling Expert Featured in Local Media

Ahead of the back-to-school season, Long Island media outlets, including The Island 360 and Port Washington Patch, featured anti-bullying insight from Cameka Hazel, Ed.D., assistant professor in the School Counseling, M.S. program. Hazel, who specializes in the supervision and training of professional mental health and school counselors, informs parents that all 50 states are required to have anti-bullying laws in K-12 schools. This includes the designation of anti-bullying coordinators or a committee to oversee bullying reports and disciplinary actions.

“All students and parents should be made aware of who the anti-bullying coordinators are and how to file a bullying complaint,” Hazel tells The Island 360.
