Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to find out the Stress, Mental Health and Adjustment needs of school counsellors in Anambra State. One research question and two hypotheses guided the study.

It was a descriptive survey design. The population was all the 130 secondary school counsellors in the State. This was used because the population size is small. Data was collected using researchers made 12-item questionnaire. Findings from the study reveal that there are areas of adjustment needed by the school counsellors. This may be due to the fact that they are not regularly exposed to refresher courses. Based on the findings recommendations are made including that the Government should provide refresher courses for the school counsellors because this will go a long way to update their knowledge and enhance their performance amongst others.
