Counselling Pupils in Schools: Skills and Strategies for Teachers
Author(s): Edited by Garry Hornby, Carol Hall, Eric Hall
Teachers are often the first point of contact for a child who has problems, whether they be related to drugs, physical and sexual abuse, bullying, bereavement, or divorce. Yet they are seldom specially trained to deal with these situations.
This book is a comprehensive introductory guide on counselling skills and strategies for teachers, in order for them to take control over such problems. It also provides advice on handling distraught parents who have nobody else to talk to, and for whom the teacher is the only contact.

'This book sets out what's required with clarity, and in a way that will make teachers feel they can do it. The section on "active listening" is particularly helpful given that teachers, almost by definition, are not necessarily good at listening to children.' - Times Educational Supplement
