Schools/Colleges/Special Schools
Some common issues faced by children in schools are bullying, substance abuse in adolescence, poor academic performance, low self-esteem, etc. Addiction to gaming and social media and cyberbullying are growing concerns in schools since the pandemic.
Counsellors and psychologists in schools help children deal with exam stress, build necessary skills needed for their identity development, cope with problems of bullying, aggression, etc. They assess children for learning difficulties, provide career guidance to children in higher classes, observe and identify psychosocial problems among children and act as a bridge between parents and teachers, teachers and students and parents and children. They help parents and teachers understand the challenges that children face and explain the root cause of these problems.
College students on the other hand face issues with interpersonal relationships and their career. A student’s counsellor would provide professional career and vocational guidance and support them to sort their problems in their relationships.
