COUNSELLING

Mental health continues to be a major threat in India with little resource and support available. According to a study conducted by the National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health in 2005, nearly 5% of Indias population suffers from common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. We at Second Chance attempt to fill the gap with this new initiative of Green Valley Charitable Trust, as part of our continuing effort in make our community live the life we have and just survive.

Our center Second Chance aims to provide a compassionate, confidential, quality client care. We practice a safe non-judgmental space for you to discuss your thoughts and feelings with a trained professional.

Discover yourself:

You may experience feelings of loss after you have lost some one dear and near. The reasons for feelings of loss may vary but it is important to identify and grieve these losses. Grieving is a process and everyone has a unique style of grieving. The process may involve setbacks; the goal is to gain acceptance. Denying painful feelings can lead to unhealthy and self-defeating behaviors.

A crisis can be stressful and you may feel overwhelmed by your feelings. However, facing a crisis successfully can be a motivating experience. The ability to cope and face a crisis situation can be empowering.

With todays highly competitive environment, it is not unusual for students of all age to experience social, personal, or academic problems in their day to day life. The growing pressure to excel everywhere often leads to emotional or psychological turmoil, thus disturbing ones peace of mind.

Remember growing is a continuous process and discussing your problems will enable you to make mature choices and take appropriate actions.
