The aim of this study was to examine the definition and meaning of a relationship-based social work, and what conditions are required for the professional to manage such. Based on seven qualitative interviews with professional social workers who work with children and adolescents, a thematic analysis was conducted based on the theoretical frameworks of Symbolic Interactionism and the organisational theories of Human Service Organisations and Street-Level Bureaucracy. The main results confirm the importance of the relationship between the client and the professional according to the respondents. Role clarity and empathy through self-awareness were seen as important qualities of the professional to maintain a good relationship with the child, for whom this might lead to a sense of security through the relationship continuity. Mentioned conditions that facilitated the possibility of relationship based client work were mostly organisational variables such as time and discretion. These were variables that varied depending on the organisation that the professionals worked within, leading to a comparative discussion between the organisational conditions of social services and schools. Another theme identified was experience which seemed to matter as a personal skill. These conditions affect the professional’s ability to create and maintain relationships with the children.

The present study is guided by the following question: what strategies can the psychologist use at school to contribute to the reflection of young people about future, work, and profession? We sought to investigate the potential of actions from psychologists in school that promote reflections about work and future. This intervention research was developed with students from the first year of high-school in a public state school, located on the outskirts of a large city in the interior of S?o Paulo. We organized weekly meetings that involved the appreciation and production of different artistic material, such as: films, photographs, paintings, drawings, and others; and, workshops with professionals who worked in areas chosen by students. The results reveal that the interaction among the psychologist, the teacher, and the adolescents, reflecting on the daily relations present in the public school space, impact on the constitution of the interest and participation of students in their activities. The conception of work for the youngsters of this research was directly associated with a pragmatic vision, which undermines the individual effort to the detriment of the collective. Therefore, we conclude that interest in not acquired but develops in interactions mediated by elements such as curiosity, approximation, availability, respect, implication, and recognition. The use of artistic expressions has proved to be a powerful instrument of action for the psychologist, capable of producing reflections that result in the expansion of consciousness. / Ao assumir a Psicologia Hist?rico-Cultural como base te?rico-metodol?gica, compreendemos que a orienta??o profissional ? um processo de promo??o de desenvolvimento e n?o um fim, enquanto lugar a se chegar. Com essa compreens?o, o presente estudo norteia-se pela seguinte pergunta: que estrat?gias o psic?logo pode utilizar na escola para contribuir com a reflex?o dos jovens sobre futuro, trabalho e profiss?o? Assim, buscou-se investigar o potencial de a??es do psic?logo na escola que se constituem como promotoras de reflex?es sobre o mundo do trabalho e o futuro. Esta pesquisa-interven??o foi desenvolvida com estudantes do 1? ano do ensino m?dio de uma escola p?blica estadual, localizada na periferia de uma grande cidade no interior de S?o Paulo. Foram realizados encontros semanais que envolveram a aprecia??o e a produ??o de diferentes materialidades art?sticas, a saber: filmes, fotografias, pinturas, m?sicas e desenhos; al?m de oficinas com profissionais que atuam em ?reas de interesse dos estudantes. Os resultados revelam que as intera??es entre o psic?logo, a professora e os adolescentes, refletindo sobre as rela??es cotidianas presentes no espa?o da escola p?blica, impactam na constitui??o do interesse e da participa??o dos alunos em suas atividades. A concep??o de trabalho, para os jovens dessa pesquisa, esteve diretamente associada a uma vis?o pragm?tica, sobressaltando o esfor?o individual em detrimento do coletivo. Portanto, conclu?mos que o interesse n?o ? adquirido, mas se desenvolve nas intera??es mediadas por elementos como a curiosidade, aproxima??o, disponibilidade, respeito, implica??o e reconhecimento. O uso de diferentes express?es art?sticas mostrou-se como potente instrumento de a??o do psic?logo, capaz de produzir reflex?es que resultam na amplia??o da consci?ncia.

Much research has been dedicated to the difficulties LGBTQ individuals face. Further, school counselors have been challenged to assist LGBTQ individuals in the school setting. Being aware of the specific issues and being educated about specific ways to assist these individuals enable school counselors to be more effective clinicians (DePaul, Walsh, & Dam, 2009). This article will address three components of counselor preparation and affirmative school counseling interventions: counselor self-awareness, LGBTQ sexual identity development, and LGBTQ-affirmative school climate. For each component, an activity is presented to assist professional school counselors become more LGBTQ-affirmative.
