Advice is voluntary
Counselling is a social interaction process that recognizes the decision-making ability of those seeking advice and aims to give them the confidence to act. We see counseling as an accompaniment and challenge to development with the aim of strengthening self-confidence and a sense of responsibility, developing opportunities and experiencing self-efficacy. Counseling students and parents/guardians is one of the tasks of all teachers. This primarily relates to advice on learning and performance levels, educational opportunities, school careers and vocational training paths, including career choice preparation (see also "Career guidance concept") and advice for pupils and parents/guardians in the event of learning difficulties and behavioral problems. This service is supplemented by the counseling team, which can provide contacts for further professional support if required.
