Children with behavioral issues need to have some type of therapy that allows them to express themselves without consequences.

The overall development of the child is seen when there is support from all the three areas – namely the teacher, the student and the parent. A parent is the most influential person in a child’s life. Parents coping with issues outside their home, in their personal relationships, or with finances or health may find the challenges of parenting especially stressful and difficult to cope with at times, especially when a child is also facing an issue. They need help in the form of counseling to help them get over their stress levels.

Parental counseling is conducted on one to one basis and many sessions are conducted in Swabodhini with parents of adolescents and young adults. Suggestions and guidelines in identifying the potential areas of interests and encouraging the same and ways of independent living were provided.

One of the students of vocational group has been identified with extra ordinary talent of art and the counseling of both the parents (family counseling) by providing strategies at home benefited them to bring in new avenues of hope and road map to the student’s future.
