Student services personnel include nurses, psychologists, resource teachers, social workers and other professional staff who provide special assistance to students. School counselors work in collaboration with these staff members and cultivate a positive team approach to their relationships with students to ensure that each student has the means to achieve success. They may increase collaboration between one or more student services members to utilize resources within the school and community. By sharing data from the school counseling program, the team can work together to maximize the educational and social benefits for student growth. Counselors can also bring their observations of students to a staff member’s attention to address specific concerns.
