Counselors help their clients identify goals and to give potential solutions to emotional problems, improve communication and coping skills, to strengthen self-esteem by promoting behavior change and mental health (American Counseling Association, 2019). Psychology deals with the diagnosing and testing for various disorders and what steps to put in place to help, while social work deals with case management to help the client receive the different services that he or she needs. Counselors help clients in identifying goals to promote solutions to their problems and help them get through tough times. It is more focused on the client rather than figuring out what is wrong with them or finding the services they need and by listening and giving advice (Mellin, Hunt, & Nichols, 2011). At one point or another, I have looked into each one of these fields. Working as an S.R.O. (School Resource Officer), allowed me to talk to children and help them to find solutions to their problems. S.R.O.’s work on a three-tier model. As a law enforcement agency, it is necessary to enforce laws. Second, the educator tier, teaching law-related classes, such as D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education). Lastly, the counseling tier and, it is the favorite part of the job. Moreover, we can talk to the children and build a positive relationship with them. By making a positive difference in these children's lives has made me feel good about what I did. However, it is tiring when I am on the law enforcement side of the equation comes out, which includes breaking up families due to arrests or the children are not being cared for properly.
