AN OATH FOR THE RESPONSIBLE ROLE

I take an oath to the best of my ability and judgment that :

I will respect the existence of my fellow being regardless of age, sex, caste and creed.

I would apply all my knowledge and experience for the benefit of children / people of my nation avoiding those twins’ traps of misjudgment and overtreatment..

I will remember that as a Counselor my duty is to encourage the true and unique abilities of the child / client both hidden and known.

I shall promote in healthy ways communication between the school and home to build a bridge of understanding and affection to all caregivers.

I shall always examine and evaluate accommodations and interventions for the good of all students/people if they may needs so. I shall talk to the children/clients about their strengths and weakness, emphasise optimism, protect from humiliation and eliminate a stigma of any kind their minds.

I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of others are needed for helping a child/client.

I will remember that I remain the member of the society with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

I shall not worry that my children / clients are not listening to me and rather worry that they are watching everything I do.

If I do not violate the oath, may I enjoy the life and health and respect while I live and be remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and longing the experience and joy of healing those who seek my help.

Amen . . .
