[00:07.45]School Counsellors
[00:09.81]Counsellors offer help,advice and support
[00:13.00]to people who find it difficult
[00:14.43]to help themselves.
[00:16.27]In the West,particularly in North America,
[00:18.50]it is common for schools
[00:19.61]to have their own counsellors.
[00:21.80]School counsellors help students deal
[00:24.29]with social,academic,
[00:26.05]behavioural and neraonal problems.
[00:28.73]They work closely with parents,teachers,doctors
[00:31.61]social workers and psychologiststo
[00:34.22]make sure students are healthy,
[00:36.48]happy and doing their best at school
[00:38.75]and at home.
[00:40.51]Children of different ages have different
[00:43.00]problems and needs,
[00:44.77]so the job of a school counsellor
[00:47.07]can be very diverse and demanding.
[00:51.60]Elementary School
[00:53.29]Counsellors in elementary schools
[00:55.38]spend most of their time observing young
[00:57.48]students in class.
[00:59.15]Their job is to identify any children
[01:01.38]with behavioural problems or special
[01:03.30]learning needs.
[01:05.56]Some children have more difficulty
[01:07.33]learning than others.
[01:09.13]Sometimes,because of problems at home,
[01:11.07]children have difficulty interacting
[01:13.25]with their classmates or teachers.
[01:15.71]It is the job of the school counsellor
[01:17.82]to identify and help these students
[01:20.63]start their academic careers
[01:22.67]in the best possible way.
