Indian perceptions of counseling
Counseling in schools is the bridge that fills the physical, psychological, and social needs of the child. School counseling requires proper recognition and all efforts to be put together to utilize the psychological skill in preventing and responding to the various psychosocial needs of the school children.
The Indian society with its strong family bonds, a warm community feeling, and spiritual essence has been providing the shock absorbers in times of crisis and a support system to deal with the various psychosocial issues.
Perhaps, this is one reason for the slow growth of the counseling profession in India.
In the recent years, the Indian society seems to have undergone a total metamorphosis with changing roles of women, a breakdown of the joint family system, increased competitiveness in schools, immense technological advances, peer and parents pressures resulting in stress and strain for the children, where school counselors are like a blessing to the students and to the parents to cope with these situations towards maintaining the mental health of the younger generation.
