LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT REFUNDS 145 FORMER SUBSCRIBERS OF EGAN HOUSING ESTATE
admin The Institute of Counseling in Nigeria (ICN) has announced its quarterly 30-day free counseling session tagged ‘UNBUTTON 17.0’.
The initiative forms part of efforts to reduce suicide and depression among Nigerians.
The programme, in its 17th edition, according to the Executive Director of ICN, Dr. Tolulope Oko-Igaire, is part of therapeutic interventions and free counseling sessions to support Nigerians facing various mental health issues due to harsh economic realities, financial, marital, or other challenges.
The intervention will run from through next month.
The therapy session, Dr. Oko- Igaire said, is part of the Institute’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in contributing to the well-being of individuals and making life better.
She noted that the institute has collaborated with its member-counselors to make it easy for people to access professional counseling services and therapy free during the period.
“Unbutton is a quarterly 30-day free counseling session put together by the Institute of Counseling as part of our CSR to encourage a mentally aware society as a whole.
“Mental well-being is essential for overall health as it impacts every other aspect of life. It is not surprising that a lot of people are not functioning optimally because of various mental health challenges they deal with daily, coupled with the harsh economic reality.
“Sometimes, all you need to do is talk and get some issues out of your chest; and we have more than enough professional counselors who are trained in different areas of intervention to help you do justice to that.
“We know so many people need help but cannot afford the fee, this is why ICN, in collaboration with our member-counselors, is making this easy for you to access the service of a professional counselor free.
“Take advantage of this opportunity and unbutton to unburden. Life is worth living, and you deserve to be happy.”
ICN was founded in 2010 as a not-for-profit independent educational institution to help people achieve their dreams of becoming professional counselors and bridge the gap between theory and practice.
