Counselling in School (Cassell Studies in Pastoral Care and Personal and Social Education)

Every day teachers face the challenge of teaching and educating the bereaved child, the pregnant teenager, the substance abuser, the physically and sexually abused, the emotionally starved and the socially inept. All such children face the demands of growing up in a complex and fast-changing world. This book examines the needs of both specialist counselors and the classroom subject teachers whose impact on children inevitably has implications beyond the academic.
