Åsa Schoening Feb 14, 2012:
My general and medical dictionaries offer [social/school] welfare officer or social worker as a first choice. That is also supported by the following, where kurator is synonymous with socionom, http://www.vardguiden.se/Tema/Psykisk-ohalsa/Psykoterapi/Vem...
Kurator/socionom
En socionom har socialt arbete som huvudämne. The second option is counsellor/counselor (British Eng/Am Eng).

No real context There is no context. It's just a list of professions that could benefit from a specific seminar.
JaneD Feb 13, 2012:
Immediate context? The sentence involved and those immediately before and after would be useful.

counsellor

More context needed!
Peer comment(s):

agree JaneD : In the absence of more context, this seems most likely as a therapy provider.

welfare officer

At least what the dictionary calls it (regarding healthcare)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Johan Krantz : Incorrect

I quoted the dictionary, just as an idea. I would have appreciated it if you had elaborated on your comment or at least introduced yourself.
neutral trsk2000 (X) : don't agree or disagree either way, but I would not go as far as to say "incorrect" especially with the lack of context

social worker

another possibility depending on context
Peer comment(s):

neutral Anna Herbst : That would be "socialarbetare" in Swedish - some socialarbetare may be kuratorer just like some social workers may be counsellors...
