But, none are as directly in line with our theme, ‘1 counselor 1 school', where we envision each and every school, each and every student, each and every teacher and each and every parent throughout the nation enjoy a facility solely dedicated towards their psycho-social well-being. We envision each and evey individual find an 'empathetic ear' to speak to with comfort in their hearts about their problems.Sambhavya Foundation, as an integral part of the counseling program, has established 2 counseling rooms in reference to ethical considerations in Shree Jalapadevi Secondary School and Shree Terse Secondary School of Sindhupalchowk District. This initiation aims to support counseling program with a safe environment for therapeutic intervention.
