Developing Counseling Skills for Teachers: A Transformational Workshop

In today’s dynamic and ever-evolving educational landscape, teachers play a crucial role not only as educators but also as mentors, guides, and counselors. Students often face academic, emotional, social, and personal challenges that can impact their learning and overall well-being. To support students effectively, teachers must develop essential counseling skills to provide guidance, foster resilience, and create a supportive classroom environment.

This interactive workshop will equip teachers with fundamental counseling skills to address students' concerns with empathy, active listening, and problem-solving strategies. Educators will gain a deeper understanding of student behavior, mental health concerns, and effective communication techniques to build trust and rapport.

Key Learning Outcomes:

1. Understanding the Concept of School Counseling – Learn the foundational principles of counseling within a school setting and its significance in students' academic and personal growth.

2. Identifying Emotional and Psychosocial Issues – Recognize signs of anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and autism, and understand how these affect student behavior and learning.

3. Addressing Burning Psychosocial Issues – Explore pressing psychosocial challenges that students face today and their impact on academic performance and emotional well-being.

4. Understanding Substance Abuse and Suicidal Risk – Identify warning signs of substance abuse and suicidal tendencies, and learn intervention strategies to provide timely support.

5. Implementing Counseling Skills in Teaching – Enhance your role as a teacher by integrating counseling techniques such as active listening, empathy, and effective communication to create a safe and supportive learning environment.

We are pleased to collaborate with SN Mishara, a dedicated school counselor and M.Ed/M.Phil scholar at Kathmandu University, who brings over two years of experience in the field. Their expertise will provide valuable insights and practical approaches to enhance teachers' ability to support students effectively.
