Balasangham, the children’s body of the CPI(M), has set out to document problems faced by students to decipher a pattern and find a solution with the help of experts. Changathy, a tele-counselling project for students launched by the organisation on Friday, is supposed to help with the documenting process. “The idea is to document the problems shared by students through Changathy without revealing or storing their personal data. That prompted us to go for a tele-counselling service as a first step. A 200-member team of social workers and clinical psychologists has been set up and trained for extending the tele-counselling service.
