Title A name given to the resource Parental Involvement in School Counseling Services: Challenges and Experience of Counselor Subject The topic of the resource Parents; School counseling; School counselor experience Description An account of the resource School counselors include parents as informants in school counseling for various reasons like for consultation and clients intervention which could lead to a different experience. The objective of the present study was to explore the challenges faced by school counselors when involving parents in the school counseling process and the ways they handle the challenges. The participants consisted of seven school counselors, with whom in-depth interviews were conducted. The subjective experiences of the school counselors were objectively interpreted by the researcher using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The research results were categorized into master and subordinate themes using double hermeneutics. The results revealed that although school counselors have their own individual perceptions of challenges and methods of handling parental inclusion in the school counseling context, there still exist similarities in their methods of handling. The study highlights school counselors beliefs about parents perceptions and expectations of counseling as well as parents reaction toward their childs problem as a challenge. The findings throw light on the need for stronger evidence-based practices and policies for school counseling programs. Training and competence-building programs for school counselors would improve the service delivery. 2018, National Academy of Psychology (NAOP) India.
