This book tends to explain the concepts that are related to counselling as well the overall idea of counselling. It also is an attempt to describe the various ways in which the process of counselling can be worked upon by the teacher who is assumed to be a counsellor for the students especially in the Secondary and Higher Secondary level of Education. Adolescents go through various physical, behavioural and emotional changes in their life and this leads to lot of mental stress. The author has tried to focus on the mental health of this section of the society who are the future citizens of this nation.
Technology may have brought in lot of advances in terms of studies and resources available today, but a teacher never becomes redundant and is still considered to be one strong pillar of support for a student in school. This book gives a glimpse on how teachers could deal with children in school and counsel the parents if there is a need.
To make the writing possible, there are a number of people who have been responsible for and have also been a source of my inspiration. First of all, my daughter whose growing years helped me to play the role of a parent, a teacher and many times a counsellor, and my students over the years with whom I could interact to understand how counselling could work for a teacher.
