Description
School Counselling in Jamaica is a practical, culturally grounded resource for counsellors, guidance officers, educators, youth workers, and counselling students working within the Jamaican education system.
School and Guidance Counsellors support far more than students’ academic needs. They also respond to psychological, social, personal-development, and community concerns while often filling several roles within their institutions.
The book introduces the Jamaican educational context, traces historical influences on guidance and counselling, examines the psychometric movement and trait-and-factor theory, and considers legislation, ethical standards, and the evolving responsibilities of the Jamaican Guidance Counsellor.
Perfect for:
- School counsellors
- Guidance officers
- Social workers
- Teachers and administrators
- Youth workers and community leaders
- Counselling students and trainees
Whether you are entering the profession or deepening an established practice, School Counselling in Jamaica offers a focused roadmap for helping students thrive academically, emotionally, socially, and personally.
