Overview

Family support is the foundation of healthy youth development. The Family Guidance Centre helps family members, including parents and grandparents, understand the evolving nature of their relationships with adolescents. Parents are supported in facilitating their role in nurturing their adolescents by understanding the normal physical emotional and psychosocial development which is different in each phase -early adolescence (10-13 yrs), middle adolescence ( 14-16 yrs) and late adolescence ( 17-19yrs) .With expert guidance and counselling, we assist you in supporting your adolescent's journey into adulthood and fostering positive family connections.

The anticipatory guidance and preventive counselling offered at our clinic assist your adolescent in growing into a happy, well-adjusted adult, ready to explore their full potential. The parental guidance provided by our expert team helps resolve parent-teen disagreements.

Adolescents often have many questions and concerns they may not feel comfortable discussing with family members or teachers. These seemingly simple issues can cause turmoil in their minds and affect their lives. For e.g Onset of puberty can lead to lot of unresolved questions which we scientifically answer in the clinic Our initial individualised psychosocial assessment provides a lot of insight into the mind of the adolescent.
