Abstract
Presented at the www.cacuss.ca/conference/">Canadian Association of College and University Student Services (CACUSS) virtual conference (2022).

We know that Post-Secondary counsellors play an integral role in supporting mental wellness on campuses. But many of us have wondered, how do we continue to help when we ourselves are struggling and feeling unsupported by our institutions?

This presentation highlights some themes in the research literature related to counsellor wellness, both before and during the pandemic. Building on conversations started during monthly Post-Secondary Counsellors' Association (PSCA) Open Meetings, we will also explore our lived experiences as post-secondary counsellors during a pandemic. Through this group activity we will honour our unique experiences and gather ideas on how our campuses can best support us.
