This document discusses school counseling consultation and outlines several models of consultation. It defines consultation as a collaborative discussion to identify solutions, with school counselors working with various stakeholders. The stages of the consultation process are establishing a relationship, clarifying the problem, determining outcomes, developing ideas and a plan, specifying the plan, and confirming the relationship. Consultation models discussed include provision, prescription, collaboration, and mediation. The goal of collaboration is to facilitate self-direction in problem-solving, while mediation involves studying an issue and presenting proposed strategies to management.
