    Main Results:

    • No significant correlations were found between nonprofessional counselors' personality traits or attitudes and client outcomes.
    • Training intensity, training content, and supervision setting demonstrated a potential influence on nonprofessional counselors' attitudes towards social groups.
    • These factors also appeared to affect nonprofessional counselors' overall satisfaction with their role.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonprofessional counselor personality and attitudes may not be primary drivers of client success in this context.
    • Tailoring training and supervision approaches can enhance the experience and attitudes of nonprofessional counselors.
    • Further research is needed to optimize support structures for nonprofessional counselors in juvenile justice settings.
