In collaboration with other NGOs, our Outreach Programmes extend our counselling services to various populations such as runaway street children, battered and abused women, children with disabilities and with visually challenged adults.
We are also involved in capacity building programmes for the staff of many NGOs by providing training programmes in Life Skills and through our Care for the Care Provider Programmes.
We are currently providing our Outreach Services at:
Bala Mandira, Hosur Road, - a Government Home for destitute girls. Counselling services are provided on-site once a week
A Government Remand Home for Boys, in Madiwala. Two counsellors from Parivarthan provide on-site weekly counselling sessions for the boys who are confined under the Juvenile Justice Act.
At Stree Jagruthi Samithi, a Support cum Process Group is facilitated by a counsellor from Parivarthan for women staff members of the Union for Domestic Workers. They work in the surrounding slum areas in Bangalore with women who experience domestic violence.
Feedback
Valli Rammohan,ASHRAYA (Children’s Home) Indiranagar, Bangalore “ Ashraya has used Parivarthan for counselling for many of our Projects like the Children’s Home and the Government Boys Observation Home. The Government Observation Home is a place that houses young boys in conflict with the law. It was incredibly difficult finding Kannada-speaking counsellors who were willing to commit themselves to a long-term project. Without Parivarthan’s help, we could never have exposed the boys to the benefits of long term counselling.Read more...
Lynne Fernandez, Managing Trustee, NRITYAGRAM, The Dance Village Hessaraghatta, Bangalore “ One of Parivarthan’s first Outreach services was offered at Nrityagram in 1995/96. a counsellor would be available at our Dance Village, once a week, to help the young dancers, many of whom had left home for the first time, to help them cope with the transition of being away from their families and living in a community. Parivarthan has grown since those days of yore, with many, many more people accessing their services in counselling and training, as they have continued to keep “quality” as their watchword in all their endeavours.”Read more...
