Even when the Nepal Youth Foundation is able to rescue a child from hunger and want, it is not always as easy to free that child from the nightmares that remain in the wake of harsh trauma, domestic violence and extreme poverty these children have endured.
Ankur Counseling Center (ACC) was established in 2006 as a place to give the children of NYF the psychological counseling needed to recover their mental health as they are being restored to physically healthy, happy lives in NYF's other programs.
Last year, NYF counselors reached 2,111 children and youth through individual and group counseling, home visits and peer counseling. We are also providing psychological services to children outside our programs.
The only such center in Nepal, counselors help children with time management, memory enhancement, relationship building, and dealing with strong emotions, building trust, and strategies for coping with stress.
Ankur staff also provides training for people who work with and for children. Last year, 234 people attended workshops covering topics ranging from parenting skills to bullying.
Thank you for helping us to care for these vulnerable children.
Namaste!
