Process flow
- If you are a pupil, parent, teacher, head teacher or other person seeking advice, you can contact the school psychological service directly. If the persons concerned agree, it is desirable that you first contact the school, i.e. the teaching and counseling staff, with your concerns. The joint participation of different groups of people involved in a problem area is an advantage. Individual discussions are of course possible. You can find out the office hours of the school psychological service from the respective state education authority. You should make an appointment by telephone or e-mail.
