Abstract
The authors describe an expanded role for counselors in urban school settings that can improve the linkages among families, schools, and communities: school‐based family counseling. The focus of this process is to assist children in becoming more successful in the classroom by increasing family and community involvement in addressing specific barriers to learning. The function of school‐based family counseling, strategies, and challenges for implementation of this process; a case study of a school‐based family counseling intervention; and implications for counselor training are presented. Benefits of the school‐based family counseling model for diverse students, parents, schools, and communities also are discussed.
