In any type of counseling situation, instructors must
establish an atmosphere that encourages the student to seek
out help when problems occur.
The instructor must make the students aware of the proper
chain of command when seeking assistance to their problems.
Instructors should conduct counseling sessions with the
students as soon as problems or potential problems occur.
Often students will respond favorably to an encouraging
word or a clarification of training materials.
Each counseling session will be recorded in the student's
record. The student record will be discussed at the end of
this chapter.

6-hour block of instruction. The +2 contains proactive
interventions for at-risk students and occurs immediately after
