Psychosocial Counseling in Jagat Sunder Bwone Kuti, Chagal-15

On May 20, psychosocial counseling was conducted in Jagat Sundar Bwone Kuti Secondary School by our psychosocial counselors Ms. Aroja Maskey, Ms. Shikha Upadhyaya Khatiwada and intern Ms. Maya-Lhanze Lama as continuation of program initiated under Earthquake Response and Relief Initiatives since May 2015. The counseling session was divided into two parts, i.e. Group Counseling and Individual counseling. Group counseling session was held for 20 students (13 girls, 7 boys) of grade 8 by Ms. Shikha and individual counseling session was held for a 15-year old student by Ms. Aroja Maskey.

The group counseling session comprised of Art Counseling and meditation. Art counseling involved drawing “Tree of Life” that enabled students to envision their origin, skills, knowledge, hopes and dreams and inspirational figures. A student shared that the session enabled her to think about her aim in life, her future hopes and dreams; and it made her remember her family and the people that inspire her.

Similarly, individual counseling included relaxation techniques and methods to express emotions that helped the student to relax and open up on his emotions.
