The 2025 Evidence-Based School Counseling Conference showcased a range of ways practitioners and counselor educators apply evidence-based school counseling (EBSC) in their work. Evidence-based school counseling is a three-step process of exploring what contributes to a given student issue in P-12 schools, investigating potential ways to address the situation, and then implementing a chosen course of action (Zyromski & Dimmitt, 2022). This introduction to this special issue of Professional School Counseling highlights some of the presentations regarding EBSC that were shared at the 2025 Evidence-Based School Counseling Conference.
