The Louisiana Counseling Association hosted Dr. Samual Gladding at this year’s annual convention last month held in New Orleans. Gladding is the chair of Counseling at Wake Forest and author.

He presented to the over 1,000 participants about the topic of “Some Fun and Funny Facts about Wellness: How Humor Adds to Your Health.” He is the author of over 41 books on Counseling, including Group Work: A Counseling Specialty, Counseling: A Comprehensive Profession, and Becoming a Counselor: the Light, the Bright; and the Serious.

“This was an excellent conference,” said Rashunda Reed Miller, “that was filled with laughter among attendees and colleagues throughout the sessions.” Miller is Archivist for the association. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. Miller works at St. Mary’s Academy in New Orleans East providing mental health counseling to middle school girls and their families.
