DDM School has started peer counselling! Peer counselling can be a valuable resource for students who may feel more comfortable seeking support from their peers than from professionals. By providing a safe and non-judgmental space for students to express their feelings and concerns, peer counselling can help students feel heard, understood, and supported.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, peer counselling can also help students develop important skills such as active listening, empathy, and problem-solving. These skills can be useful not only in counselling situations but also in many other areas of life, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership.

It's important to note that while peer counselling can be effective, it should not be a substitute for professional counselling when needed. If a student is experiencing severe or ongoing mental health issues, they should be referred to a licensed mental health professional for further assessment and treatment.
