School performance, psychological and social well-beings are the most challengeable tasks in
taking care of adolescents. Well-being means positive relationships with others, personal
mastery, autonomy, a feeling of purpose and meaning in life, and personal growth and
development. School Counselors are usually working on improving the students' well-being
psychologically and socially. The most common problems of teenagers are intimate
relationships with opposite sex, disobeyed behaviors, neglecting home works. Despite these
evidences, the role of school counselors still not well defined by the Government, the
counselors are not well prepared during college studying years and after graduation, the
number of counselors does not meet the students' needs, and sometimes they face obstacles
doing their work by school administration. According to 20 counselors from different schools
in Kalar, counselors are in need of continuous training courses, defining their roles by the
Government and Ministry of Education, and providing them with their needs and rights such
as having a room to meet students, giving them the chance to practice counseling
mental health and service needs in Iraq: beliefs and attitudes of primary school teachers. Child and
Adolescent Mental Health, 18(3), 171-179.
