24X7 tollfree online counselling service by ACGC

Since ACGC is opened for students, six days a week until 6pm, the round the clock 24*7 on call/online counselling services are available for students. This is a crisis intervention service where students are provided with adequate help, support and guidance to manage their immediate concerns. The availability of round the clock counselling service specifically to students who are away from their parents and during examinations provides a much-needed support to students. Toll free number is operational 24*7 during the year.

Special Guidance teams (SGT) for hostel visits

Apart from counselling services as a support system for students, Special Guidance Team of faculty members go to visit hostels on weekly basis. As students tend to get stressed and feel anxious during examinations in the absence of parental support, the frequency of visits is increased, and these teams visit hostels daily. It has been taken as a welcoming step by students as it is helping them cope with exam stress and anxiety.

TESTIMONIALS :

ACGC has helped me a lot building myself, cope up with my fears and tackle all the problems that I had. I have been visiting ACGC quite a lot over the course of one year. Now I can say that I have learned making decisions, being practical and overcame anxiety & stress. I would like to thank my counsellor who helped me through all this.

ACGC has helped me build up my confidence and has made me compatible enough to face my problems without fearing or worrying about it. Yes, it was tough to overcome but along with Ma'am I was able to overcome. It has not been very long since I have been coming & visiting Ma'am, but it is always very comfortable & soothing whenever I have a talk with Ma'am. The anxiety & stress reduces and I get a new hope & ways of solving my problem & overcoming the stress. It feels good to know that someone is right beside you, to help you get up whenever you fall, help you dust off the problems and also helps you travel the path.

Visiting ACGC was one of the best decision that I made in Amity. I never thought that I will be this much changed. I am so proud of my decision of visiting ACGC. It's been a long time since I started meeting Ma'am. The environment here is so friendly. Whenever I enter ACGC, I feel different. I feel like I am just surrounded by positive vibes. ACGC made me overcome my fear, anxiety and stress. The confidence which I lost in myself, ACGC really helped me a lot to get it back.

ACGC has helped me a lot in so many ways plus because I am a hosteller & it is hard sometimes, so I love to go there as it makes me feel at home and especially because my counsellor is an amazing human! I feel like I can always go to her without hesitation. ACGC has helped me vent out my feeling both good and bad and I am truly grateful for that. It has helped me accept myself and accept my situation. ACGC is the one AMAZING thing I like about AMITY.

It was a nice experience to have someone who listened and understood my point of view. It has helped me greatly in releasing stress.

ACGC has been a great support system for me as I needed someone to hear my problems from a nonbiased approach, so my counsellor was very patient, empathetic, and understanding.

I felt very relieved after taking sessions from my counsellor as she helped me in my toughest times and suggested me ways to cope up with the same.

Being a hosteller, I had adjustment issues and had no friends so coming to my therapist was very helpful as she supported me as a friend and guided me as a mentor to grow with my insecurities and helped me through it.

I felt so relieved after my sessions as if some heavy stone is out of my chest and it was a wonderful experience that someone is there for me to listen to me out and not judge me.
