PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

RESIDENTIAL FACILITY:

The Girls Are Famiy! The center provides free residential stay to the students during their training. We want our students to be completely stress-free while they learn.

COUNSELLING:

Psychological Upkeep Is our Priority! The centre pays a lot of attention to the mental health of the girls especially those who have lost their eye sight later in life. It provides counseling session girls from rural and backward sections and to anyone struggling with emotional baggage and trying to cope up with having lost some physical ability. Counseling is an important service offered to all students, but this intervention is of special significance for the child with vision impairment. In counseling the student with vision impairment it is essential to see the child as an individual first. So, just as a counselor would assess any student referred for services, consideration would be given to chronological age, developmental level, academic and social strengths and problem areas, family situation, emotional functioning, cultural identification, and any other factors that may be affecting the child. At the same time, an awareness of the impact of the student’s disability is maintained as the total picture is put together. The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” – Helen Keller Our counseling service is available to anyone experiencing low mood when dealing with sight related difficulties. We also recognize that anxiety can be experienced by parents, partners, careers, and we extend our services to anyone affected directly or indirectly, by sight loss
