Proudly serving the community through beneficiaries.

Did you know that almost every NYF program involves services provided through Ankur? NYF’s Ankur Counseling Center, founded in 2006, is Nepal’s original counseling center for children. Our Ankur team, pictured here, offers psychological care to children recovering from trauma and those with mental illness. They also lead workshops and share resources on boundaries, stress management, self-care, and other essential topics for young people.

From routine therapy for children at Olgapuri, to goal-setting workshops for vocational trainees, to peer counseling for young women in Saptari—Ankur’s work is woven throughout NYF’s impact. The team also partners with schools and universities, helping young people recognize early signs of mental health issues, offering therapy for women experiencing domestic violence, and more.

In a country where mental health awareness is still growing, Ankur is leading the way, transforming access to care and building resilience for generations to come. We’re so grateful for this team’s vision, empathy, and leadership!

According to Dr. Thomas Gordon “Children don’t misbehave, they simply behave to get their needs met.” The key to addressing the misbehavior of children and adolescents lies in responding appropriately. The Training on Positive Dealing with Children and Adolescents is about identifying the misbehavior, its goals and how to manage them positively.
