About this service

Description

School psychologists can help you with issues related to learning, going to school, integration, emotional wellbeing or working in a group. Together with you and, if necessary, your guardians, they will consider what kind of help you need and which support measures are the best for your situation. You can contact a school psychologist yourself, or your guardian can do it for you. School psychologist services are provided by pre-primary schools, basic education schools, general upper secondary schools and vocational institutions. School psychologist services centre around discussion with you, your guardians and your teachers. If necessary, other experts or people important to you may also be involved with your/your guardian's permission. Support visits to a psychologist are also an option, and your situation can be assessed in more detail through various questionnaires and psychological examinations. The objectives, content and duration of the work are agreed together with you and with your situation in mind. Through discussions and various tasks, the psychologist's meetings aim to identify factors that have made your studies more difficult. Another aim is to identify and promote your strengths and ways of coping with challenges. Parents can in turn receive guidance and advice on how to support and promote the child or young person’s learning and wellbeing. If the situation requires more support or more assessment, you will be referred to the right services. Another key role of school psychologists is to work with other professionals to develop the activities of early childhood education and care (ECEC) and schools to promote the wellbeing of you and all learners. This is called communal welfare work.
