When school students have access to quality mental health support, they are more likely to be successful and productive.
Raising your hand or voice, for that matter, on a child simply because they are weak and younger than you in age, is an act of cowardice on the part of the parent. Some fantastic and in-depth research has been done in this field.

Abuse comes in many forms and what is equally surprising is that a lot of parents have no idea that many of their actions can count as abuse.
The concept of school psychologists is not well known in Bangladesh. Although in recent years we have been able to bring the issue of mental health to the fore, making provisions for having psychologists in school is still unchartered territory for us.
