Provide Counseling & Support to Sexually Abused

This year were able to get a professional photo of our counseling room in our child advocacy center. If you have lived in Thailand, you know that counseling is a new concept for Thai people. Many Thai people think that go to see a counselor means that you are mentally ill or crazy. There are very limited spaces and places that provide counseling services and going to see a counselor at private hospital can be very expensive. That’s why we wanted to create a friendly atmosphere where children can feel safe.  At our child advocacy center, sexually abused or trafficked children can have free access to counseling services.  Our counselor is available to see clients weekly. Your donation helps us to provide counseling services to many children.

In 2020 we provide total of 641counseling sessions for children and their families. In 2021 our counselors has already provided 49 counseling sessions through one on one mean and 13 sessions online during the Covid outbreak. 

Here is one of our highlight story from one of our session. Through a play therapy session with a 7 years old girl, she was able to address her stress from living among the older girls in the children home and cope with her nightmare. She mentioned that the only time she could play and be herself is being in the counseling room with HUG’s counselor. She was filled with joy to come and spent all the minutes in the room with the counselor.

Our team at the HUG Project is committed to make children feel safe and walk them through their hurts and pain and we are thankful for our donors who help make this possible. 

Thank you!

P.S. Because of couseling confidentiality we won't be able to share pictures of our client or disclose of their information. We are however would like to share the photos of our child friendly space.
