Abstract
This paper explores the effective integration of drama in counselling young people which is geared towards eliminating the prevailing moral decadence and redeemable degrees of psychological and mental distresses in contemporary times. It unveils the possible impact of the application of drama and professional counselling processes to nurture and inculcate good moral ethics and behavioural patterns in young people. The consistent efforts geared towards curbing the spread of moral decadence among the teeming young people in contemporary times across the globe has necessitated the need for the application of drama as a potent tool in complement of professional counselling to educate, inform and conscientise the mindset of these young people against vices and immoral behavioural patterns. The paper therefore recommends enhancement of the complementing application of drama as a therapeutic tool by counsellors and counselling coaches to empathetically aid quick results in counselling processes.
