abstract: Adolescents often suffer from psychosocial and psychosomatic problems. In addition, a number of questions and uncertainties regarding health matters arise in the course of the gradual transition from childhood to adulthood. However, young people show great inhibitions towards psychosocial and medical consultation services. The establishment of an easily accessible consultation service at school thus might aid existing health promotion and disease prevention programs for young people. Using the example of a grammar school in Berlin, the demand for and the interest of the students in such a consultation service were examined on the basis of gender, age and types of subjective feeling of well-being regarding health (quantitatively). In addition, the best way to organise such a service was analysed (qualitatively). Significant differences in the demand for a consultation services are ascertained based on gender, age and subjective feelings of well-being regarding health. The interest in consultation services offered in school by an external specialist is greater among the older students, while the younger ones prefer lessons to deal with health topics. Regarding the organisation of a consultation service, it is important to the students that it remains anonymous and is open to all the problems and questions young people have.
