Previous studies have shown that collaboration between school counsellors and other stakeholders such as teachers and administrators leads to improved outcomes for students and a better school climate. The current qualitative study explored the experiences and perceptions of novice school counsellors in India regarding collaboration with teachers and administrators. The sample included 11 novice school counsellors working in five different cities who were recruited using purposive sampling. The thematic analysis of the data collected via semistructured interviews revealed six main themes: ‘Counsellors’ perceptions about collaboration’, ‘Collaboration with teachers’, ‘Collaboration with administrators’, ‘Challenges faced during collaboration’, ‘Strategies helpful in collaboration’ and ‘Impact of training’. Implications discussed include the need for school counsellors to advocate for their role, the need for training programs to prepare stakeholders for collaboration, and the need for policies to integrate the role of a school counsellor into schools.

先前的研究表明，学校辅导员与教师和管理人员等其他利益相关者之间的合作可以改善学生的学习成绩并营造更好的学校氛围。目前的定性研究探讨了印度新手学校辅导员在与教师和管理人员合作方面的经验和看法。样本包括在五个不同城市工作的 11 名新手学校辅导员，他们是通过有目的抽样招募的。对通过半结构化访谈收集的数据进行的主题分析揭示了六个主题：“辅导员对协作的看法”、“与教师的协作”、“与管理人员的协作”、“协作过程中面临的挑战”、“有助于协作的策略”和“培训的影响”。讨论的含义包括学校辅导员需要宣传自己的角色，需要制定培训计划来为利益相关者做好合作准备，以及需要制定政策将学校辅导员的角色融入学校。
