Psychologist

There are different kinds of
psychologists. Among them, the
most frequently contacted for help
with personal, educational, and
career needs are the clinical and
counseling psychologists. While
school and developmental
psychologists are already available
in the Philippines, very few people
take advantage of their services.
Perhaps not many people know
about their availability or the value
of their contribution.

Clinical/Counseling
Psychologist

Some concerns are beyond the
expertise of school counselors
who have not specialized.
Example are behavioral disorders,
kleptomania, learning disabilities,
personality disorders, or cases of
victimization or trauma.
Counselors may turn to the clinical
psychologist for diagnosis and
treatment of these cases.

School Psychologist /
Developmental Psychologist

Through diagnostic evaluation, the
school/developmental psychologist
can identify students in need of
counseling or beyond. He/she may
help to diagnose the
developmental and educational
needs of the clientele and
propose programs that would best
meet such needs like enrichment,
remedial, individualized instruction,
and other customized programs.
Psychiatrist

Before the public became aware of
Clinical Psychology in the
Philippines, some schools had
psychiatrists consultants to whom
they referred students with special
needs. There is a growing
recognition of the clinical
psychologists capability to handle
emotional disturbance or clinical
problems which used to be
considered the domain of
psychiatry. However cases are still
referred to psychiatrists when the
clients status requires medication
or when there are strong indicators
of psychosis.

School Worker

Today, with the physical and
sexual abuses that take place at
home, absence of parental figures,
the substance abuse of family
members, social workers seem to
be more indispensable. Social
workers visit homes, talk to the
family members, and determine
how children can be helped best,
given the home situation. Their
access to the home gives them a
broader and deeper understanding
of the child.
Head of Institution

The Guidance Program cannot function
effectively without the wholehearted
support of the head of the institution who
has three important roles (Gibson and
Mitchell, 1999).
a. Program Leader and
Supporter
b. Program Consultant
and Advisor
c. Resource Provider
The Classroom Teacher

The teacher is the first line of contact
between the student and the school
Guidance Program. He/she
communicates with students on an
almost daily basis, and is in a position to
establish a relationship
based on mutual trust
and respect. An
indispensable element
in the Guidance Program, the teacher
can facilitate the implementation of
Guidance services through various roles
(Gibson and Mitchell, 1999).
a. Listener-Advisor
b. Referral and Reinforcing
Agent
c. Discover of Human
Potential
d. Career Educator
e. Human Relations Facilitator
f. Guidance Program Supporter
Health Personnel

Every school is required to have an on-
campus clinic with medical doctors,
nurses, and dentists. These personnel
can:
1. identify children whose medical needs
may be related to social or emotional
difficulties needing attention

2. help in determining whether or to what
extent physical ailments or defects are
an obstacle to a students
performance, adjustment, or
anticipated development
3. refer students who may malinger or
may frequent the clinic at specific
times and days, perhaps in fear or
avoidance of certain classes
