COUNSELLING SERVICE

Mental Health and Counseling Support – Jeevani Centre

At Sree Ayyappa College, Eramallikkara, we firmly believe that mental health and emotional well-being are foundational to academic success and personal growth. To ensure that our students are supported holistically, the college offers dedicated counseling services through the Jeevani Centre, an initiative by the Government of Kerala aimed at promoting mental wellness in higher education institutions.

The Jeevani Centre at our college serves as a supportive hub for students to address emotional, psychological, and academic challenges and is committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.

Objectives and Services

The primary objective of the Jeevani Centre is early identification and intervention in mental health issues among students. Our services are designed to support students dealing with a range of concerns such as:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Depression and emotional distress
  • Relationship or family issues
  • Time and study management
  • Academic pressure
  • Career-related anxiety and uncertainty

Students can approach the College Psychologist, Ms. Sini A.D., for confidential, one-on-one counseling sessions in a safe and non-judgmental space. These sessions aim to help students navigate challenges and work toward personal well-being and academic balance.

Awareness, Outreach & Support

At the beginning of each academic year, students are introduced to the services provided by the Jeevani Centre through an orientation session. This session includes:

  • Introduction to the counseling services and team members
  • Mental health awareness and stress management strategies
  • Guidance on how to access support and make appointments
  • Assurance of confidentiality and respect for student privacy

In addition to individual counseling, the centre organizes awareness classes, training programs, and mental health workshops throughout the academic year. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing emotional intelligence, resilience, and coping skills, thereby improving students' overall personal and academic lives.
