Confidential Counselling
Safe, private spaces for students experiencing emotional distress or family strain.
Programme 4 of 6
Confidential counselling and welfare support that helps students and families cope through hardship.
Overview
A student carrying grief, trauma or a household crisis is rarely able to focus on lessons — no matter how good the school is. Our Psychosocial Support programme provides confidential counselling and welfare interventions for students and families coping with loss, illness or economic hardship, so emotional wellbeing doesn't quietly become the reason a student falls behind or drops out.
We also train teachers to recognise early signs of trauma or distress, so support reaches a student long before a crisis becomes visible in their grades or attendance.
Why it matters
welfare interventions carried out in the past year, from emergency relief to home check-ins during household crises.
Our process
Teachers, family members or the student themselves can raise a concern confidentially.
A trained facilitator meets with the student to understand their situation with care and privacy.
Counselling, welfare relief or a home visit is arranged based on what the family actually needs.
We stay in contact through the term, adjusting support as the situation changes.
