Sambhavya Foundation is a school mental health organization based in Kathmandu  District. Established in the year 2018, ever since, it has operated in areas of awareness and services related to mental health, counseling, and well-being. With a total of 13 schools and over  3500 students benefited inside and outside Kathmandu Valley, Sambhavya Foundation aims to follow its vision of reaching each and every school throughout the nation. The program of  Sambhavya Foundation targets teachers, students as well as parents where group counseling and individual counseling services are our primary services provided. 

At the time of Covid - 19 pandemic and lockdown, Sambhavya Foundation initiated the “Online Counseling Program”, where the organization included other target areas with free counseling provided to Quarantine Individuals, Independent Schools, Independent Individuals, and Migrant Workers. The program was successful in reaching more than 3000 individuals to whom we were able to provide mental health awareness, individual counseling, and group counseling.

Following the school counseling and mental health awareness program and effectiveness in districts like Sindhupalchowk, Gulmi, online counseling programs in Chitwan based schools.  Sambhavya Foundation, following its vision, aims to increase its outreach towards more areas in order to promote mental health awareness, the importance of counseling, and psycho-social counseling services. 

Sambhavya Foundation has centered its focus in the district of Baglung targeting primarily, schools, and secondarily, the community.  

The need for the program, objectives, and estimated results are discussed below in the concept note.

Need for Program 

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the  absence of disease or infirmity.” In terms of mental health, a state of well-being concerns how an individual thinks feels, and behaves and how one relates to society (Social circle,  Family, Social institutions, National Laws, etc.). This is a state achieved through proper routine schedules, ample physical care like yoga and meditation, exercise, sleep and died, social support circles, stress management skills, appropriate coping skills, meaningful and purposeful life-goals setting, sound family relations, educational and career opportunities and many more. 

However, due to covert problems regarding their thoughts, feelings, and behavior and overt problems like family disputes, poor socioeconomic status, natural disasters, and sometimes even global distressful events like the current Covid-19 pandemic could pose a threat to well being. For instance, the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown have had a significant impact on people’s daily lives and routines as businesses and schools have closed, the infected number is rising,  ravel bans are imposed and many other restrictions have been made. It has created the burden of financial stress, fear of Covid-19, loss of loved ones, loss of purpose, and meaning towards the future, difficulty receiving medical and mental health treatment, and many more. The psychological impact of this has been evident in the numerous cases of death by suicide, rising cases of anxiety and depression, PTSD, and complications of prevalent mental health conditions.  Especially vulnerable have been young children and teenagers experiencing confusion,  hopelessness, loneliness, anxiety, and depression. 

The conditions mentioned above can be summarized as psycho-social problems dealing with a person’s psyche (thoughts, feelings, and behavior) and its relation to elements of society.  In times of crisis like these, of utmost importance is support, links to necessary resources or consultation, awareness, and prevention of further complications. One of the actions that incorporate all these aspects is Psycho-Social Counseling
