Councelling Cell

Counselling is a process that aims to facilitate personal well-being of the students through the support and guidance of trained counsellors, for a healthy mind and body. With the intent to address and help resolve emotional and psychological issues of the student community of SMVITM, the college has initiated the “Counselling Cell” in the college premises with the help of a trained team of faculty members as Counsellors. The Counselling Cell encourages the students to understand themselves and the issues that trouble them and guides them to resolve their problems. These problems can be personal, emotional, social, family, peer, academic, sexual, etc. This is done through individual or group counselling to help them with academic goals, social and personality development, career goals, enhancing listening skills, empathy and interpersonal skills to have healthy relationships and a healthy lifestyle.
