Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A guidance counselor would be best suited to make initial attempts to assist with this situation as they are trained to address emotional and mental health issues in students and can provide counseling services, refer to outside resources, and communicate with David's teachers and parents to create a supportive environment for him. The other options (principal, psychiatrist, EAP counselor) may also be involved in the situation, but a guidance counselor would be the most appropriate first point of contact.
