Mindful Mesmerisms presents a comprehensive workshop on School Counselling in the Indian Scenario, as we celebrate National Mental Health Counselling Week and National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day on 9th May. We know that schools in India have made it mandatory to employ Mental Health Professionals or School Counsellors, but how often do we really know what a school counsellor does? There are a set of Roles and Responsibilities of a School Counsellor in India, but since it's not governed under the Indian Law, schools disregard their roles to look upon them as the teaching faculty. This workshop is designed to help you understand who school counsellors are, the scenario of counselling and mental health in Indian schools and help educators, parents, counsellors and students alike, recognize the importance of mental health counselling in the Indian school scenario.
