Family counselling

Family is an important institution developed by humanity in course of making this race more civilized and women have played crucial role in this process indisputably. But with increasing crime against women and children in families, the very string to harmonize our social milieu is losing its tone gradually. As per a report by The Jharkhand State Women Commission, about 40% women in the state are affected by physical, emotional or sexual violence committed by their husbands. This trend reflects here with 7,563 cases of rape and 3,398 cases of dowry atrocities during the decade of 2001-10 as per Jharkhand Human Rights Report.

NBJK run Family Counselling Centre at Hazaribag has intended to check the situation within its limitation and provides specialized service to women and children. Counselling, home visit, social mobilization, police help and reconciliation are some features of this centre which are proved trustworthy for the victims of marital conflicts and domestic violence. This centre could save a number of families from break up and made them united by using preventive measures. FCC has handled 2016 such cases till this year with support from the government owned Central and State Social Welfare Boards.
