Counselling and Guidance
|
Udavum Karangal took an entry into the field of social service by extending information, guidance and counseling to economically weak and under privileged people. Primarily many people used to walk into the center to share their problems and also to seek guidance.
Initially they need to be given a clear picture of their problem and make them understand what are their potentialities in handling the problem. Hence a clear understanding of their personality, ability and disability are very essential.
However all the decision is being taken by the person who seeks help and the role of the social worker or psychologist is to give them guidance and counseling. Sometimes for further management they are also being referred to :
-
Other NGOs
-
Mental health centers
-
Family courts
-
Training centers
-
Short stay homes in case of immediate need for shelter & care
-
Relatives are contacted/ restored back to families
The emphasis is on counselling as this is highly effective in problem identification and solving it in the initial stage itself. 60% of the people who seek counseling have shown remarkable changes in their life later on.
