The need for student counsellors has increased rapidly in the last few years. The Study Boards (CBSE, ICSE and some State Boards) have made it mandatory that there should be a counsellor in the institution premises during the entire school hours. Colleges and Universities (IITs and IIMs) too hire counsellors for the students.
To enable the participants to be equipped with the knowledge and skill to counsel students in the Institution environment as well as counselling children if the participants want to be independent practitioners. The emphasis of the course is less on theoretical constructs and more on practical matters that the counsellors have to deal with on a daily basis.
The course will be conducted in English and hence basic knowledge of English is expected. Anyone above the age of 21 can enrol in the course and be equipped with the knowledge of understanding the world of children and teenagers whether they want to pursue a career in student counselling or not. The course will be completely online and would need the basic skill of operating a computer.
The classes will have sessions of 2 hours duration.
Since the emphasis of the course is on practical counselling, many of the assignments will require the students of the course to meet children in their environment, speak to them on specific issues and submit their reports. There will be five assignments in the course and other than that the students are also required to counsel children in their environment and submit a report for three sessions of counselling. In addition, the students are required to participate actively in the classroom activities.
We expect 100% attendance from every student. All students of the course are expected to attend ALL the classes in the course and follow the rules of engagement as defined by the faculty. They are expected to submit all the assignments in time and take an active part in the classroom activity. They are expected to uphold strict confidentiality on all matters shared by other participants either in the class or the children that they will talk to as part of their assignments
Earning potential: A student counsellor in a school/college gets an average salary of Rs 25000-30000/- per month. Even Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) pay around that to the counsellors. A counsellor with experience can earn higher in private and international schools.
In addition to the weekly classes, special sessions would be arranged ONLINE with children and Practicing Counsellors to understand the world of children and the practical aspects of a working counsellor. These sessions will be on a different day of the week and would be common to both the batches.
This will be a ONE SEMESTER course with classes conducted once a week. The duration of the class will be for two hours. Since this is an online course, some activities will be built into the course.
The focus of the course is on practical aspects of counselling children and adolescents and will cover the following areas:
