ABOUT COURSES

The counselling courses in the distance mode offered by us were successful because of Manasa’s commitment to Mental health awareness. The courses which were offered from 2003-04 to 2017-18, have already won admiration for their quality and relevance. Thanks mainly to the guidance and active participation of senior faculty members from all universities in the state as well as experts from other institutions, the quality of the contact programmes and training has been high. These are also courses which have attracted qualified learners from all fields – doctors, lawyers, teachers, social workers; persons from all centers of India and many from abroad; of all ages from 21 to 80 plus. So far around 3100 candidates have successfully completed these courses in the last 15 batches. Most of them have testified to the impact the courses have made on them, as individuals and as professionals. Many of them are already placed as cousellors in various settings – from schools to psychiatric hospitals. Teachers, doctors and social workers have found the courses making a big difference to their attitudes and behavior. Such goodwill has strengthened MEFFMH’s resolve to constantly improve the courses.

MRS. NAVEENA M PAIS

My PGDC counselling training in 2018-19 from manasa educational foundation for mental health had a great impact in my school administration and teaching profession. It has paved a way to strengthen my counselling skills and interpersonal relationship with teachers, students and with their parents. In my opinion every teacher has to undergo this specialised training to develop positive skills and attitudes and balance the learning, social, behavioural, and emotional needs of their students. It will make the teaching effective and help teachers to train the students in better way in problem solving and guide students to become healthy and better citizens of tomorrow.
