the participants.

• A teacher should make an effort to nurture trusting relationships with students
thereby securing the emotional and psycho-social health of the pupils. Any sort of

behavioural, emotional maladjustment or “at-risk” student with visible and repeated

signs of aggressiveness, mood swings, declining academic performance, absente-
eism, hyperactivity, changing peer groups, anxiety, stress etc. can be referred to
the school counsellor by the teacher for appropriate and early intervention. The

Counselling sessions can help in resolving conflicts and emotional issues confronting

the pupil and creating better learning environments.
