New Delhi: A helpline

Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 results will be launched
Thursday, an NGO's representative said.
Available from May 24 to June 2, "Hopeline 2012", being offered by
NGO Snehi would provide free of cost confidential counselling to
students who have results-related anxiety and stress. It will also
provide career guidance.
The helpline number -- 011-65978181 would be available from 10
a.m. to 7 p.m. and students can also seek help through email:

"Our helpline is an effective preventive measure against suicides
and promotion of positive mental health," said Abdul Mabood,
director, Snehi.
Last year, the helpline attended 2,684 calls. Of them 1,929
callers were students of Class 10 and Class 12 and the rest 755
were students from other classes.
"We also attended 290 calls from parents during that time and
helped them handle situational stress," said Mabood.
According to Snehi, the helpline will be manned by a team of
trained counsellors and mental health professionals.
