A STUDY ON THE DEMOGRAPHIC PATTERNS, STRUCTURE, UTILIZATION AND OUTCOMES OF COUNSELLING SERVICES OFFERED AT PARIVARTHAN COUNSELLING, TRAINING AND RESEARCH CENTRE.

A Research Project entitled, Life Skills in the Community, was conducted on the Module I of our Life Skills Training Programme (Interpersonal Communication and Listening Skills) that Parivarthan offers to adults who have not been taught the ten basic life skills as identified by the World Health Organisation (1977) as the "core set of skills" needed for the overall well being of every child and adolescent.

The data collected through this Project validated our premise that through this training programme, life skills can be taught to adults and when learnt, promotes self  growth and improved interpersonal relationships in the family and in the workplace.
