Vishwas: The Social Responsibility Club

Vishwas

Vishwas has been serving the stakeholders of JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) since 2004. The counselors have been placed in every campus to meet the psychological needs of students, staff, and parents. Vishwas was propounded in the year 2004 under Dr. Uma Warrier for SBMJC (Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer JAIN College) to bring in all counseling centers under one umbrella.

Vishwas helps the students cope with issues connected to normative stress, adjustment difficulties, and life transitions. It aims at promoting mental health in the campus community. It tries to solve issues related to learning problems, disabilities, substance abuse/chemical dependency, relationship problems, personal habits, family related issues, anger management, problems related to identity and self-esteem, domestic violence, anxiety, trauma, and cultural/ethnic diversity. The counselors of the institution suggest ways to cope or overcome these issues with relevant psychotherapeutic techniques. Confidentiality is maintained for the services and information. It is an altruistic effort on our part and the services are not changed.
