Counselors fulfil roles in many different settings including hospitals, community centers, rehabilitation clinics, mental health institutions, and even in schools. They work to ensure the mental and overall wellness of individuals or groups through education and advocacy. According to the American Counseling Association, 20% of the U.S. population in 2011 had disabilities (54 million people), and nearly half of those had a disability that affected their ability to perform basic functions of life. A Harris Survey conducted by the National Organization of Disability found that 72% of those Americans with disabilities actually want to work. Counselors interface at this and many more intersections of health, wellness, and society, and an important facet of America’s public health.
