ABOUT US

College life is a time of change, growth and transition. Attending college is an exciting and dynamic experience. It can also be a time of change as you grow and continue to develop your own sense of identity.

TICC understands:
Attending college also presents its challenges. Students may have to deal with stresses such as:

• Moving away from home for the very first time
• Financial stress
• Academic stress
• Physical or mental illness (e.g., depression, anxiety)
• End of important relationships
• Illness or death of a loved one

Reach Out to Us:
Sometimes coping with one or more of these stresses can prove to be overwhelming. TICC is here to help students through these difficult times. Thapar Institute Counselling Cell (TICC) helps students through these difficult times of adjustment and readjustment to college life. We recognize that the stress associated with a high-pressure academic environment at a critical developmental period can sometimes create difficulties. These difficulties are ones that can often be alleviated through professional counselling and therapeutic intervention.

Against this background Thapar Institute Counselling Cell (TICC) was set up in January, 2016.

TICC has been designed in accordance with the UGC norms to provide free counselling services to students and staff so that they are able to perform their responsibilities with enhanced confidence, vigour and ethics.
