SETTINGS OF

COUNSELING
by: Miss Deinzelle Villaranda
Counseling in the
Government
includes:

Free counseling to those who

are in depressed situation,
Giving free suggestions and
feedbacks; and
Social workers counsel and
assess the needs of clients.
Counseling in the
Private Sector
includes:

Assist you with any career-related issues

including: self-assessments, resume and
cover letter review, preparing for interviews,
personalized career strategizing, employer
research, and much more.
Help employees over the hurdle as they
choose individualized learning experiences.
Despite the benefits of private sector involvement,
engaging employers in training and other youth
employment interventions has proved to be a
challenge in many cases.
Employment services for youth, which match job
seekers to firms while also potentially providing a
range ofindividualized counseling services, can be
especially cost- effective but are currently limited
in coverage and quality.
Counseling in the
Civil Society
includes:

Primary duty and responsibility to establish

conditions, as well as provide the means, which
allow internally displaced persons to
returnvoluntarily, in safety and with dignity, to their
homes or places of habitual residence, or to
resettle voluntarily in another part of the country.
Such authorities shall endeavor to facilitate the
reintegration of returned or resettled internally
displaced persons.
Direct supervisory power of
the people on the rulers and
authority’s performance and
gain their power by
people’sintegration and
movement.
Civil society is one of the characteristics of
democratic societies. Values such as political
participation, government accountability and
political generalizing are followed by civil society
without the support ofexpression freedom rights
which is recognized and enforceable,freedom of
assembly, freedom of idea and thought public
opinions of civil society will gradually disappear.
Counseling in the
School
includes:

Help students overcome behavioral problems,

improve their time management and
organizational skills, establish academic goals,
resolve interpersonal problems with other
students, or work through personal problems.
School counselors working in high schools may also
help students set career goals, ensure their classes
will help them achieve these, and identify potential
financial aid and apprenticeship opportunities.
School counselors don’t work with students alone. In some
cases, it may be necessary to involve a student’s teachers or
parents in the counseling process. For example, counselors
may liaise with teachers to develop strategies for assisting a
student with learning difficulties. The counselor may also meet
with the child’s parents to discuss ways that they can help
facilitate learning in the home and maximize learning
outcomes. School counselors may also liaise with teachers and
parents in cases concerning students with mental health
issues or those with severe behavioral issues.
In some cases, the problems that school counselors
see are too big to deal with at the school level. Under
these circumstances, a school counselor may refer
students to external agencies that are equipped to
deal with the student’s concerns. For example, a school
counselor may recommend to parents that their child
undergo psychological testing. Under child welfare
laws, a school counselor must also report incidents of
child abuse or neglect to the relevant authorities.
School counselors are an integral part of a school’s
student welfare and learning support committees.
School counselors discuss students of concern with
other committee members and collect and share
information related to student welfare and learning
support matters.As part of these committees, school
counselors also develop, coordinate, and assess
initiatives that promote student welfare and improve
learning standards.
School counselors should strive to make their
school’scounseling program the best that it can be.
It’s a school counselor’s responsibility to cast a
critical eye over existing counseling practices and
identify areas that could be improved. Counselors
should then take their recommendations up with
the school board or principal and campaign for
changes that will benefit all staff members,
students, and their family members.
Counseling in the
Community
includes:

Counselling sessions for individuals,

couples, and families for grief/loss,
separation, divorce and co-parenting,
stress/anxiety, abuse, relationship
concerns, parent-child conflicts, self-
esteem issues, suicidal ideation, residential
school issues, self-harm, sexuality,
addictions, and many other issues.
