Direct Service Insignia (Official and NOT) I have been truly blessed with three opportunities to serve within the Direct Service Council before it was disestablished; and two other times under the auspices of the BSA International Division/Office.
A family counselor is a licensed professional who helps people overcome stress, mental health issues, behavioral problems, and family issues. He or she typically works in a group or private practice, providing counseling services by appointment to individuals and entire families.
Peer counselors use a unique set of tools to help others reach their goals. Counselors practice active listening by giving their complete attention to what someone is saying, and they respond without judgment. Facilitative questioning is used to help peers talk about feelings, explore their issues, and find solutions.
