PNACAC Virtual Webinar

2/3/2025

 
New collaboration will provide PNACAC school counselors and IECs, students and their families access to guidance from national experts on college admissions and career exploration
School counselors and IECs guiding students through high school and toward postsecondary paths need easy, accessible ways to educate and prepare students and their families for the college admissions and career exploration process. PNACAC provides many opportunities for professional development (such as the popular CC101 webinar series), but there is always room for additional learning!

To help meet this need, especially among counselors in public high schools with high student  caseloads, the Pacific Northwest Association for College Admission Counseling (PNACAC) is collaborating with  the College Guidance Network (CGN), to help support PNACAC members with personalized college and career information for high school students and the families they serve. 

CGN’s Emmy award-winning team works with over 275 national experts – admissions deans, financial aid professionals, career pathways specialists and family therapists – to produce a curated offering of live programming and on-demand, personalized resources.

Benefits of this collaboration: 
  • A centralized, trusted source of information from experts made available to PNACAC school counselors and IECs
  • PNACAC members get access to the following free resources: Eva, a AI Counselor Assistant, CGN webinars, and a app for parents (ParentGPS is coming soon)
  • PNACAC members can access CGN Roadmaps at a discounted rate for their schools
  • PNACAC will help identify members who can participate in upcoming CGN Live virtual events as hosts and panelists
Watch for emails from PNACAC about upcoming free webinars - the first one is this week! Also, visit www.collegeguidancenetwork.com to gain access to the free AI Counselor Assistant, ParentGPS (coming soon), and many more resources.

​Greetings,
 
I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Today at the MCAN meeting we offered a Suicide Prevention QPR Presentation which many of your attended.  I promised to send out some resources, please see the attached documents and links below to learn more. As we discussed, there are several factors that lead to completed suicides in Montana, we know that restricting access to fatal means is vital to keeping our youth safe from an often-impulsive act. Remember Means Matters: Responsibly store your firearms unloaded, locked and out of reach and sight of kids and youth with ammunition locked and stored separately.  Also, lock up your medication and consider keeping Narcan on hand, so you have it available for opioid overdoses (works for kids and dogs). Montana pharmacies have an open prescription, so if you have opioids in your home (or grandparents’ home) make sure you also have Narcan.
