Social & Emotional Wellbeing

Students, teachers and parents are supported by access to a range of strategies and specialised support catering to a healthy social and emotional development.

School Psychologists at Neev Academy

They are professionally trained individuals who share their expert insight on the workings of a child’s mind and the impact that has on the child’s sense of self and the relationships forged with others. They work closely with the learning support specialists, teachers, parents and other stakeholders on the different ways in which social and emotional developmental needs of children can be met.

 

How do they support?

  • School Psychologists help:
    • - Build the importance of social-emotional well-being
    • - Increase the sense of self-awareness, independence and identity
    • - Learn and practice healthy communication
    • - Build healthy interpersonal relationships
    • - Share strategies on emotional regulation
    • - Learn ways to reduce stress
  • The process involves:
    • - Social-emotional learning sessions for whole cohorts of students on topics like self-awareness, emotional management, relationship building skills, social awareness and decision making in a realistic manner
    • - Individual/small-group counselling sessions for students
    • - Providing support to teachers, parents and other stakeholders on building social-emotional development

 

Consent and Confidentiality

Individual and small group counselling sessions begin after receiving consent from the students and parents. The importance of confidentiality being maintained, the reason behind the same and the exceptions to situations, wherein confidentiality may be breached, are clearly explained to all the stakeholders on a need basis.

 

Additional supportive steps

  • Overseeing and regulating the student transition points
  • Referral to external experts (like clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, etc.) are made if students require additional support
  • Setting up and mediating sessions for students, parents and teachers with other experts in the field
