Yes, it absolutely does.

Today, at a government school, counsellors from Sankalpa for Change held space for something powerful: Children speaking about their goals, their fears, and the setbacks they rarely say out loud.

When trust is built with care, something shifts. A quiet kind of courage surfaces — and they begin to believe that asking for help is not weakness, but strength.

We gently reminded them today: "Strong is the child who says — I need support." "Brave is the one who doesn't bottle it up."

This is the heart of our work at Sankalpa For Change — creating safe spaces where children can reflect, express, and grow.

We believe that emotional wellbeing is just as important as academic success — and it begins with listening.
