Consultation to educational administrators.

A community mental health center had developed an innovative consultation program for school principals. Forty-five of the area's 95 school principals from 14 districts are enrolled in the program. The services provided are individual consultation, support groups and conferences. The evaluation of the program consisted of a questionnaire and interviews. The individual consultation was perceived to be of greater value than the other services. Overall, the program appeared to help relieve the isolation of principals and provide them with a means for processing ideas and actions. The program did not appear to be as effective in increasing colleagueship and a support system among principals.
