Besides schools, where might school psychologists work according to the material?

• A. Corporate marketing firms
• B. Community mental health centers, hospitals, or corrections facilities
• C. Private households
• D. Outdoor recreational programs

Answer: (B)

This item tests where school psychologists can work outside of schools. The material indicates they may be employed in settings like community mental health centers, hospitals, or corrections facilities. In these places, they perform roles similar to what they do in schools—conducting assessments, providing counseling or therapy, offering crisis intervention, and consulting with other professionals to support children and families. Working in these non-school settings allows psychologists to address mental health needs on a broader scale and with different teams, including medical or justice systems, rather than just in the school environment. Other options don’t align as closely with the typical non-school settings described: corporate marketing firms focus on business unless a psychology role specifically overlaps with mental health, private households would imply home-based practice not singled out in the material, and outdoor recreational programs aren’t standard settings for school psychologists.
