But some parts were similar to each other. The result shows that cooperation is an important part of the work, but something that is often difficult to achieve. Mainly cooperation with other professions involved. Related to this, an important finding was made in terms of a cooperation model to optimize cooperation between schools, BUP, and social services. Relationships were also presented as a success factor and a conclusive part of the work. Through the result, a common vision of working preventively was also produced at the same time that all school counselors described how emergency work with “hemmasittare” happens daily. (Less)
