Mental health counselling

Grief is rampant in our country. The old have learned to adapt to it through experience – but what of the younger generation? Peer pressure, academic competition, pressure from parents to get good grades all define their lives. And on top of all that, seeing bloodshed on the streets everyday on their way to school also has an adverse impact on their minds.
In order to help them overcome the battlefield that is their minds there should be proper psychological counselling in schools. Schools are enthusiastically offering career counselling these days. But little or no attention is given to personal matters of a student in a time when compassion is of utmost importance. A single conversation can make a lot of difference in a young person’s life.
