TC students hold counseling session for disabled kids at Danchhi
KATHMANDU: The Department of Psychology of Tri-Chandra (TC) Multiple Campus organized a day-long counseling session at the Disable New life Centre (DNC), Danchhi on May 7. The programme was organized with an aim to provide a platform to learn the psychology of differently abled children for the students who are doing Masters in Psychology. A total of eight students studying in MA IInd Year at TC participated in the programme.
It was all about counseling and art therapy for children, who are differently abled and are living at DNC, to connect mind to soul and body parts. The programme was conducted by Psychologist Dr. Timothy Aryal. The main motive of the programme was to increase their self-esteem, appreciate their success in small tasks and find the root cause of their problem. The session was impressive as the students got a chance to get involved with differently abled children and learn directly from them.
The students began the programme with a little celebration — cutting a cake, dancing and singing. Then the children introduced themselves where each student had a certain number of children to deal with. In that session, children were asked to show their talents and it ended with a discussion.
The students learned that differently abled children, though living in a good condition at DNC, were missing their family and had many problems on a daily basis due to their disability. The counseling session helped them to listen to their inner voice about what they feel about their life, family, friends, and society, understanding themselves and their life. Moreover, with artwork they created, the students got to know their psychology that showed how their life is and what they feel about their life.

Understand Suicide to Prevent it
KATHMANDU: With an aim to highlight issues related to suicide, Hami Janata recently conducted an interaction programme in coordination with different personalities from the field of psychology, psychiatry and Nepal Police. The programme aimed to identify factors that instigate a person to commit suicide and the major causes of suicide.
The main presenter of the event was Pradeep Basnet. The panel discussion included different personalities: Dr. Narendra Thagunna, Dr. Pradeep Manandhar, Dr. Bijay Gyawali and Tarini Prasad Lamsal. The students of Tri-Chandra College also joined the programme.
Different questions related to suicide were raised at the event. Answering one of the questions, Dr. Manandhar pointed out that the common cause of people wanting to die could be because of pain. “Usually, people try to heal pain through praying, or with the help of drugs, or by sharing the problem with a friend. But when that pain doesn't get healed, the person tries to find a permanent solution to the temporary problem. It can be because of - impulsive nature of the person, genetic cause or maybe the person lacks strategies to cope”.
The participants also talked about the condition of Nepalis working in foreign countries. Dr. Gyawali explained, “Suicide is prevalent amongst Nepalis who go to foreign lands for labor. Due to frustration and high expectations, they go through an adjustment problem. The expectation is a risk factor and shouldn't be neglected. The other cause of suicide is a mental illness".
The event also addressed issues including ways recognizing suicidal tendencies and government's policies regarding suicide, among others.
So, what role can an individual play prevent suicide?
Dr. Manandhar stated, “We need to take care our of our daily activities, maintain serotonin level, work in a good atmosphere, reduce verbal abuse, develop good thoughts, get counseling from experts along with raising awareness” .
