DELIBERATION OF CIRCUMSPECTION

Counselling service has a vital role to play in a child’s life that not only governs his career but also shapes his personality and disposition based on noble ethos. It is the most prominent aspect of guidance which conveys the meaning of conduction in different circumstances for different purposes.

In St. Raphael, the most prioritised concern of counselling service is to help the students achieve self-direction, self-knowledge and self-realization. In our counselling centre, a face-to-face meeting of the student with our trained counsellor is established where the counsellor offers suggestions, opinion and advice to assist the student to develop an insight for himself and to uncover his potentialities so that he may function as an independent and self-reliant person, capable of making his own decisions and solving his own problems.

Here, the counselling session may go beyond the essentiality of the students and reach to the parents to provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and most particularly support the parents without bias or judgment. This way, they have proved to become fully equipped to take care of their children. Although becoming a parent is rewarding, it is also challenging. The responsibilities that parents must fulfill are huge and in this course of time, parents are susceptible to different types of circumstances that can greatly affect how they take care or manage their families, especially in how they guide and raise their children. Thereupon, St. Raphael provides regular counselling and guidance drives to assist parents to raise good children who can contribute to the society.

St. Raphael believes that a formal consultation beyond the moral values imbibed by parents and teachers is a prerequisite to bring a rewarding life to the students and thus, it has left no stone unturned to offer so.
