dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study is to explore the experience of Maltese counsellor-in-schools when working collaboratively with other professionals within the framework of the school. Note will also be taken of collaboration with outside professionals/agencies that provide therapeutic support to primary and secondary schools, so as to further the well-being of the young clients found in school settings and their families. The research question that forms the basis of this study is: “How do counsellors in educational institutions work with other professionals?” From this study emerges that the collaborative approach is not limited to professionals, but incorporates all the stakeholders who are connected to the development of the student-client. Collaborative processes have common characteristics, but each school has its own goals as well as its own difficulties which require a flexible approach on the part of the professionals when working collaboratively within schools. While it is assumed that collaborative work is desirable, the actual process seems fraught with difficulties and intricacies. The latter complexities have contributed to the formulation of my research question. In this study I will explore the different yet multi-layered realities (difficulties, successes, stories, ideas, methods, models and personal as well as cultural values) that influence the school counsellor when working collaboratively with other professionals. Using the Maltese traditional craft of lace making as the main imagery interwoven throughout this study, an understanding of the collaborative processes used in schools may emerge. | en_GB |
