FREE COUNSELING SERVICE LAUNCHED FOR SINHA SOLDIERS UNDER ‘SINHA NANASA’ PROGRAM

Sinha seva vanitha unit launched a well strategized long term counseling service for the sinha family under the program Sinha Nanasa.

In today’s context Mental health is a key to a persons wellbeing. This includes emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. Whilst considering the need, the seva vanitha unit obtained the services of a well known psychotherapist Esharma Kariyakarawana.

The initial lecture was conducted by her at the regimental head quarters in Ambepussa where officers & soldiers were represented from all brigades. The availability of this special services will be notified to all through a poster campaign. A hotline is made available to contact Mrs. Kariyakarawana and her assistant through out the week at specific time periods. If further consultations are required by a person, such facilities too will be organized by the regiment.

The services provided will be handled professionally and confidentiality will be guaranteed as per the counseling norms.

The final objective of this programe is for soldiers and officers to live stress free lives and to develop coping skills when faced with life issues. This we believe will bring down suicidal thoughts, depression, domestic violence etc and improve the quality of life.
