European Solutions for Guidance and Counselling for Socially Disadvantaged Groups

The members of many disadvantaged groups, such as older and younger, migrants and ethnic minorities, and disabled young people, encounter obstacles, not only when seeking employment but also when attending vocational guidance services. Guidance counsellors too face difficulties when working with certain client groups. This volume gives voice to both guidance counsellors and their clients, offering perspectives on the obstacles for both and recommendations for policy and practice.
