COUNSELING CELL

A counseling cell for students is a dedicated space within educational institutions staffed by trained professionals, typically psychologists or counselors, who provide emotional support, guidance, and resources to students facing personal, academic, or social challenges. These cells offer a confidential and safe environment for students to discuss their concerns, receive advice, and develop coping strategies to navigate various issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, academic difficulties, career choices, and more. The counselors often conduct individual sessions, group therapy, workshops, and outreach programs to promote mental health and well-being among students. Additionally, they may collaborate with faculty, administrators, and other support services to ensure holistic support for students' overall development and success.
