ACA Foundation Offers Grants to Assist Counselors Serving Elementary-School Aged Children

Under the Growing Happy and Confident Kids (GHCK) program, The American Counseling Association Foundation (ACAF) is soliciting applications from practicing counselors seeking financial support for funding interventions, initiatives, or outreach efforts directed at children in grades K-5. Specifically, the counselors’ work must be oriented toward increasing the emotional literacy of children and better equipping them to handle life’s challenges. Often times these “life challenges” manifest as bullying, prejudice, sexism, or academic-related stress.
