Students face various problems in day to day life. A counsellor has an important role to play in the analytic process of offering therapy. Education system needs to be ready with a favorable program for the overall well being of the students. It includes keeping the teachers sensitized, have informal listening open when a student approaches to share a problem, involve parents with due courtesy and offer a confidential non threatening environment so that early intervention can be offered to a walk in case or those referred by the teachers, or asked for help by the family. The study is qualitative sharing of three selected cases with different observed issues and probed in-depth, offered intervention by taking along parents and suggested ways to deal with it and follow on. The purpose of study is to emphasize on early intervention and role of school system in taking care of the students beyond curricular aspects. It points out the further conscious review by each school on making counsellors accessible, supported for home visits or any alternative ways that must not neglect any case asking for, or in need of help. Further strengthening of skills of the teachers and counsellors can be a regular practice.
Key words: informal listening, non threatening environment, early intervention, strengthening skills of teachers.
