Produktbeschreibung

The role of the professional counselor is key in a family or individual case in which there are problems about lack of sex education at school or at home. The professional counselor can be of great help in uniting families, guiding adolescents and being part of the cultural transformation in dealing with a concept that has been marginalized over the years. "The professional counselor in a school setting should provide individual or group counseling and guidance, measurement, assessment, evaluation, placement, consultation and counseling, referral, research and analysis, and follow-up. Some relevant goals of the program are: to provide educational and occupational experiences integrated into the curriculum that eliminate stereotypes (sexual, physical, racial and social impairments)" (Urbina, 2009). Schools continue to face problems over time. For example, the lack of educational and professional material to address the issue is a challenge faced by schools in Puerto Rico. The O.M.S. establishes that comprehensive sexual education should be facilitated from elementary school and recommends that it be a separate subject.
