Family Counseling CentreMany of the women in our communities face significant difficulties in their home life, including marital problems, conjugal abuse and other family disputes. In some cases, these difficulties require legal or police intervention. Our Family Counselling Centre, located in the Dharavi slum, works with women and their families to provide information, advice and support during disputes and crises. The counsellors who staff the centre have social work training and knowledge of the legal system.
Our Centre is supported by the Maharashtra State Social Welfare Board. It is also recognized by the Crime Investigation & Social Welfare Branch of the Mumbai Police, which now refers cases directly to us. This year, 126 new cases were registered, 63 old cases followed-up, and 123 cases were settled by the efforts of our staff. |
