Multi-disciplinary many helpers work alongside other professionals. Skills in professional communication, conflict management, client advocacy, and negotiation are key. Cj and related social systems are flawed: politics, competition, working in silos, government slow to respond, lack of evidence-based practice. Incompetent people working in the system: poor skills, lack genuineness, burned out, need for training, cj professionals can exercise self-control and maturity (ei), integrity, and be leaders in their work, remain true to ethical standards and being client-centered. Counselling to manage distressing situations: coping with life problems, doubts, difficulties, loneliness. Instrumental assistance for crisis situations: legal issues, learning disabilities, physical health concerns, need for resources or funding, etc. may involve lawyers, po"s, teachers, managers, police, doctors, dentists, etc.
