School-Family-Psychologist Coordination in Girona | Collaborative Work

- Child Psychologist
Grades are falling. Teachers mention in meetings that your child “just isn’t the same.” At home, you notice frustration, homework anxiety, or behavior problems you struggle to manage. You feel caught between two disconnected worlds—school and home—and your child’s well-being hangs in the balance.
At Centre de Psicologia Jaume Primer – Psychologists in Girona, we truly understand this sense of disconnection. That’s why we offer a specialized School-Family-Psychologist Coordination service in Girona: a professional, compassionate bridge that unites perspectives, builds shared strategies, and ensures parents, teachers, and therapists work together as a real team to support your child’s emotional and academic growth.
Is it time to seek help? 8 key signs for parents in Girona
We know that as a parent, you are the one who knows your child best. But sometimes what happens at school doesn’t match what you see at home. You receive worrying reports from teachers, you notice changes in their behavior, but you feel alone trying to piece it all together. An external psychologist can be the link you need.
Our coordination service is especially valuable if you recognize any of these situations:
📉 Grades have dropped sharply. You observe a sudden decline in academic performance with no clear reason. Motivation for schoolwork has disappeared and homework has become a daily battle.
😠 Behavioral problems only at school. The school informs you of behaviors (impulsivity, disobedience, conflicts with peers) that do not appear at home, creating confusion and helplessness.
😥 Distress about going to school. Every morning is a struggle. Your child expresses intense fear or anxiety about going to class, often accompanied by frequent physical symptoms such as stomachaches or headaches.
🤔 Suspicion of ADHD or learning difficulties. Both you and the school suspect there may be something more going on (such as ADHD, dyslexia…). You need a professional assessment and a coordinated action plan that works both in the classroom and at home.
🗣️ School and family are not on the same page. You receive contradictory messages. You feel that the school and you have different views about your child’s needs, and it seems impossible to reach an agreement on how to help them.
💔 You detect a possible case of school bullying. You have signs that your child may be a victim or involved in a bullying situation. This is an extremely delicate matter that requires coordinated, rapid, and sensitive intervention.
👤 Isolation or changes in relationships. Your child is withdrawing, has lost interest in their usual friends, or constantly struggles to interact during recess.
🤐 Your child doesn’t tell you what’s wrong. You can see they are suffering, but they shut down and you don’t know how to reach them. A neutral external figure can help open channels of communication.
Our Working Method: How Do We Build the Bridge?
Our role is that of an expert and neutral facilitator. The process is always confidential and carried out with your consent, and it follows these clear steps:
- Initial Session with the Family: The first step is to listen to you. We want to understand your perspective, your concerns, and your child’s story from your point of view.
- Contact and Meeting with the School: With your authorization, we reach out to the class teacher, the school’s educational psychologist (EAP team), or the school leadership. As psychology professionals, we bring a clinical perspective that helps the teaching team understand the emotional needs underlying the child’s behavior or academic difficulties.
- Observation (if necessary): In some cases, we can carry out an observation in the classroom (always with the school’s permission) to gain a better understanding of the dynamics and interactions of the child in their school environment.
- Creation of a Joint Action Plan: Our ultimate goal. We prepare a document with unified and practical strategies to be applied both at home and at school. This plan may include classroom adaptations, emotional regulation techniques for the child, communication guidelines for parents, and clear, measurable objectives.
- Follow-up and Evaluation: Our work does not end with a single meeting. We carry out periodic follow-up with the family and the school to assess progress and adjust the strategies as needed.
