Published purpose

This project aims to improve the well being and resilience of families in Suriname by increasing access to high quality, professional family counselling services. By training a cohort of counsellors in evidence based methods, the project helps ensure that families experiencing stress, conflict, or psychological challenges receive timely, effective support. Project activities include: (1) developing and validating a comprehensive, evidence based training curriculum and practical case studies for family counselling; (2) delivering training to 20 participants through interactive lectures, hands on practice, supervision sessions, and continuous feedback; and (3) establishing and supporting a local professional network of trained counsellors to facilitate collaboration, referrals, and ongoing knowledge exchange.
