Estrange Aurora has once again demonstrated its commitment to youth empowerment by organising a comprehensive Expert Student Counselling Session, designed to address the critical challenges faced by today’s students. The event brought together three esteemed professionals who led in-depth discussions on key issues, including adolescent development, body image concerns, bullying, academic pressures, and strategies to foster clarity and confidence about the future.
Session Overview
Originally scheduled as a one-hour engagement, the session evolved into an extended three-hour interactive workshop, characterised by active student participation and open dialogue. The discussions covered a broad range of topics such as:
- Hormonal changes and anger management
- Body image, harassment and bullying
- Societal and parental expectations
- Career guidance and goal setting
- Educational decision-making and practical applications
- Lifestyle challenges encompassing hostel living, nutrition, and time management
Students shared their experiences candidly, collaborated on problem-solving, and exhibited resilience and a proactive mindset throughout the session.
