Description
School or Guidance Counsellors are key professionals in educational institutions, supporting more than students’ academic needs. In Jamaica, counsellors often address psychological, social, career, and personal-development concerns while working closely with teachers, administrators, families, and communities.
School Counselling in Jamaica introduces the Jamaican educational system, traces important historical developments in counselling, and examines the psychometric movement, trait-and-factor theory, legislation, ethical standards, and the responsibilities of the Jamaican Guidance Counsellor.
Whether you are entering the profession or strengthening an established practice, this book offers a practical and culturally responsive reference for helping students thrive academically, emotionally, socially, and vocationally.
