The team of school psychology NÖ consists of 37 highly qualified psychologists who are active in 14 advice centers. Contact is possible both by telephone and through schools. Young people who are unsure whether they should continue their way to school or start training, as well as those who suffer from learning difficulties or social conflicts, find the necessary help here. Among other things, school psychology also helps with questions such as exam anxiety or dealing with bullying. The consultations are always free of charge, confidential and are designed individually, so that each request receives the necessary attention, as Education-noe.gv.at explained.

An important aspect of school psychological advice is confidentiality. The conversations can be perceived as extremely secure, although psychological tests can also be used to understand the concerns even better. The aim is to plan the next steps together with the young person. School psychology is therefore not only a contact point for crises, but also an important partner for the personal and academic development of the students in Lower Austria.
