From 2021 -2022
School Counseling at Aksharaa School

School Counseling addresses emotional, behavioral, and psychosocial challenges that may affect students’ academic performance, confidence, and overall mental wellbeing. These counseling services are provided by experienced counselors and mental health professionals trained to support children in school environments. As a growing psychological hub in Nepal, PICS Nepal has been conducting a specialized school-based mental health initiative known as the PICS School Project. The program is designed to strengthen children’s psychological wellbeing both at school and at home through professional school counseling and psychosocial support services.

The project focuses on developing essential life skills such as emotional intelligence, resilience, interpersonal communication, critical thinking, anger management, stress management, and problem-solving abilities. These skills play a major role in improving emotional endurance, behavioral regulation, and healthy social development among children and adolescents. Through guidance from senior psychologists and experienced counselors, the program aims to create emotionally safe and mentally supportive learning environments for students.

As part of the PICS School Project during 2021–2022, PICS Nepal collaborated with Aksharaa School to provide professional school counseling services to approximately 300 students. Through this initiative, PICS Nepal worked closely with school administration, teachers, and parents to build a stronger support system for students’ mental health and emotional wellbeing.

PICS Nepal remained committed to delivering quality mental health and counseling services through multiple approaches, including individual counseling, group counseling, behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and mental health awareness programs. As a trusted counseling center in Nepal, PICS Nepal continues to support schools, families, and communities by promoting psychological wellbeing, early mental health intervention, and accessible counseling support for children and adolescents.
