The objective of the session was to assist the children in dealing with the post-traumatic effects of COVID-19. During the pandemic a year ago, the same resource person provided them with effective counseling. In these sessions, the facilitator discussed the definition of stress, the various types of stress, its causes, and treatment options. The participants discussed the challenges they faced throughout the pandemic, as well as its impact on their lives and societal changes. In addition, the facilitator emphasized the need of practicing self-care.
