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.
Counselors try to help clients cope with and resolve their problems so they will ultimately no longer need counseling. In order to reach this goal, both client and counselor must work together to uncover the root of the issues and generate realistic solutions that can be put into practice in the client's life.
