Abstract
This chapter presents background information about homeless youth and suggested counseling strategies for use by school-based counselors who work with young people who are homeless. Homelessness is a growing problem for students, and students who experience homelessness are at increased risk for a host of developmental, academic, and mental health problems. Counselors working with students who are homeless must be aware of legal and ethical issues, such as the McKinney-Vento Act, which was enacted to ensure that homeless students are provided a free and appropriate public education, and mandated reporting requirements. Counselors can help promote resilience by focusing on students’ strengths and addressing issues related to stress, trauma, and family involvement. Specific counseling strategies discussed include solution-focused brief therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
