b. get the help of a psychiatrist to determine which prescribed drug would help him perform better at school.
c. see a family physician for a checkup and determine if a course of medical treatment will help him.

Explanation:

La opción A implica buscar ayuda de un psicólogo para explorar las razones del declive académico y estrategias de manejo, lo que es adecuado para abordar el bienestar mental en contextos de estrés (como el desempleo de la madre) y dificultades académicas. Un psicólogo puede ayudar a identificar factores emocionales y desarrollar habilidades de afrontamiento, mientras que la opción B (psiquiatra) suele estar dirigida a trastornos que requieren medicación (no se indica que Conner necesite eso) y la opción C (médico familiar) se centra en aspectos físicos, no mentales en este caso.

Answer:

A. Get the help of a psychologist to explore why his grades might be slipping and strategies for managing the events in his life.
