Will counseling actually help kids if parents are unwilling to address the foundational issues?

I am entering a masters program to get an MS in Educational Counseling and Preventive Mental Health. But, my concern is that counseling will not help my students because parents and guardians seem to only want a band-aid for the issue. It takes a lot of work and commitment to truly help kids, but it seems like people do not want to put the work and effort into it. Education does not only occur at school, it also needs to occur at home and that is the same for counseling and dealing with issues. #educationisathometoo
