Schools play a key role in assessment, access to services, and possible referral to appropriate outside support systems. They provide intervention, prevention, and services to support students academic and career education as well as personal and social growth. The role of school guidance counsellors is expansive. As outlined in publicly accessible provincial guidelines for Canadian school counsellors, on top of providing classroom guidance curriculum, Canadian counsellors are providing counselling services, addressing mental health issues, crisis intervention, and support for course selection. The guidelines suggest that counsellors should consult with all stakeholders to support student needs. In Ontario's education policies, counsellors also play a key role in other forms of experiential learning, such cooperative education, as well as supporting students in Specialist High Skills Majors programs.
