04 .09.2023 (MONDAY)

TIME: 10.45 Am – 11.45 Am

 Interacted with B.Sc. Chemistry & IC (S5) students. With this group, building rapport was easy. Initially, the counsellor presented a quick overview of the "JEEVANI" initiative. The students were then invited to introduce themselves. The counsellor then discussed the importance of September 4 – ‘world sexual health day’. Discussed about sexual consent, sexual health, sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, healthy sexual practices, reproductive health, family planning, etc. Identified a student with some difficulties, who needs psychological intervention. Jeevani counsellor reported this to the HOD and class tutor and told them to make an immediate referral for an individual counselling session.

Time: 1.45 pm – 2.45 pm

Today's second session was in Economics (S1) class. The counsellor began by collecting the assignments given to them at the previous session. Today the rapport was good. Discussed the importance of September 4 – ‘world sexual health day’. Discussed about sexual consent, sexual health, sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, healthy sexual practices, reproductive health, family planning, etc. Students asked several doubts to the counsellor. Before leaving, the counsellor collected feedback from the students.

Time: 2.45 pm – 3.30 pm

Interacted with BCom TT & CA (S1) students. Building rapport with this group was extremely difficult for the Jeevani counsellor. Students were not at all cooperative. Counsellor tried to briefly explain the ‘JEEVANI’ project. Later, the counsellor discussed life skills and their importance. Then the counsellor discussed how to monitor screen time. It was very difficult to handle this group.
