Psycho-Social Counseling Class Update
One of our goals is to meet the psycho-social needs of the pregnant girls. To do this, our instructors designed a syllabus paying particular attention to the current needs of the girls and their current position. Our plan is to achieve a holistic goal, that will produce visionaries. This will turn their challenges to success stories.
During the first meeting with the girls, we asked the girls to consider and discuss where they were, where they are and where they want to be within the next 2 years. As a group, we spoke about our common goals. In our second meeting, we started with an icebreaker. With this we were able to interact and each girl gave a more detailed introduction of themselves.
We further discussed the topic:Relationships: the Merits and Demerits of Various Relationships - helping the girls to see and understand that some relationships can be helpful and beneficial, while others can be detrimental and toxic.
These sessions are eye-opening sessions for many of the girls - provoking lengthy and fruitful discussions. The class discussions are proving to be a powerful tool in building interaction peer-to-peer support and strengthening understanding.
