Abstract
One of the major considerations in the field of mental health had been the use and training of paraprofessionals in the helping process (Brown, 1974). Also called lay helpers or peer counselors, paraprofessionals are trained in using the basic skills of helping whether they are working in school or agency settings (Myrick & Emery, 1979). Peer counselors use these skills to enhance the functioning of professionals by adding to the number and range of people who can be helped, and by making sure that those who need professional help are referred (Rockwell & Dustin, 1979). In this way the visibility of counseling services is increased so that more people make use of the services.
