Description
As well as offering guidelines for planning and implementing effective community-counselling programmes, this work provides examples of programmes in operation in the United States. Focusing on services offered by community agencies, mental-health centres, youth-counselling centres and college-counselling centres, the book examines four particular aspects: direct community counselling, direct client services (outreach), indirect community services (influencing public policy), and indirect client services (client advocacy).
