Extract

We live in turbulent times. Much has been said and written about the sociological, political and technological changes of the eighties. I do not intend to detail those changes here, but to refer to the impact that those changes have for us in our communities, and in particular, our schools, and consequently, our Guidance services.

We have always lived with change and the success of the human species has been inpart due to our adaptability to our changing environment. In this century, and especially this decade, we are facing new and possibly greater stresses related to the rate of change and our feeling of powerlessness in influencing the direction that those changes are taking.
