Abstract

Photovoice is an innovative approach that uses photography to promote empowerment and social action. Although photovoice has been recognized as a valuable intervention for youth, projects involving this approach primarily have been facilitated by university–school partnerships or community organizations. Aligned with the American School Counselor Association National Model, this article proposes photovoice as a practical tool that school counselors can incorporate into a comprehensive school counseling program to advocate for social action and change.
