The Department of Youth Welfare at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) started offering counselling sessions for students, parents and staff members on Monday.
The objective is to provide psychological support in the wake of the stampede that claimed four lives on Saturday. The sessions are offered in association with the Jeevani Centre for Student Wellbeing Programme and the District Mental Health Programme under the Department of Higher Education.
Services of six counsellors will be available at the Student Amenity Centre.
