At City Montessori School, Indira Nagar Campus, the focus on mental health is integral to creating a nurturing environment for students and teachers.
To further this goal, our school counsellor, Ms. Agrima Khare, is deeply committed to enhancing the well-being of all. Moreover, she works tirelessly to promote resilience among students and staff while also fostering a strong sense of community.
Mental Health Support for Teachers
Our counsellor provides essential support to teachers, emphasizing the importance of mental health in their professional lives. Her initiatives include:
- Stress Management Strategies: Equipping teachers to handle workplace pressures effectively.
- Self-Care Practices: Encouraging habits that prioritize mental and emotional well-being.
- Positive Work Environment: Cultivating a collaborative and supportive teaching atmosphere.
These efforts ensure teachers maintain their mental health, enabling them to guide students effectively.
Individual Counselling
Students are supported by the individual counselling sessions as they provide:
- A safe space to discuss challenges.
- Skills to build resilience and manage stress.
- Personalized goal-setting for academic and personal success.
Individual counselling sessions are essential for students as they provide a safe space to discuss both personal and academic challenges. Firstly, these sessions create a trusting environment where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions. This helps them feel valued and supported, improving their emotional well-being.
Secondly, these sessions focus on building resilience and managing stress. With the help of counsellors, students learn practical coping skills and strategies to stay positive and focused, even in tough situations. These skills empower them to handle academic and personal pressures effectively.
Additionally, personalized goal-setting is a key feature of counselling. During the sessions, students set clear and achievable goals based on their strengths and interests. This approach keeps them motivated, helps track their progress, and guides them toward academic success, better time management, or personal growth.
Moreover, these sessions encourage openness and support within the school community. Students are reassured that they can seek help anytime, knowing that the school has a strong system in place to guide them through challenges.
In conclusion, individual counselling not only builds resilience and self-awareness but also provides students with tools to set and achieve meaningful goals. This holistic support helps them grow into confident individuals, ready to face challenges both in school and beyond.
Group Counselling
Group counselling sessions, in addition to individual support, play a significant role in promoting mental wellness. To begin with, they provide opportunities for collaborative problem-solving in a structured and supportive environment. Furthermore, these sessions include activities specifically designed to enhance interpersonal skills and encourage emotional growth.
In addition to fostering personal development, group counselling creates a sense of belonging within the classroom community. As a result, students feel more connected and supported by their peers. Ultimately, these sessions empower students to navigate shared challenges effectively, helping them build stronger and more meaningful relationships with one another.
Well-Being Sessions
Well-being sessions conducted by Ms. Agrima Khare involve:
- Teaching effective stress management techniques.
- Enhancing social skills for stronger interpersonal connections.
- Developing coping mechanisms for academic and personal growth.
These sessions contribute to a positive and thriving school environment. They are tailored to address specific challenges faced by students, ensuring they feel heard and supported at all times.
