Counselling Services
WE BELIEVE:
- that individuals, families and communities have the potential to change, grow and take responsibility for themselves
- that family life strengthen when it is supported through communication
- that healthy family life promotes community well-being
- in diverse types of family life - all families are affirmed
Through our Family and Counselling Project that exists as a fully developed business unit of FAMSA Pretoria and operates under an executive committee comprising community representatives, a director, an accountant, seven social workers, four auxiliary workers, two administrative personnel and four volunteers.
This project aims to:
- Keep families together and safe
- Provide support mechanisms to families in order to be well-functioning and self-reliant
- Keep families as the primary caregivers of family members
- Improve the well-being of family members within their families and communities
- Work with families at risk to prevent the removal of family members from the home
- Support the strengths of families and improve the functioning of families so that the behavior that led to any crisis is less likely to occur
- Reunite families and family members who have been removed at some point
The Services that FAMSA delivers to achieve the project aims are based on two key objectives:

OBJECTIVE 2
The second objective in turn supports the first through the provision of training services to all counsellors who deliver these services. In doing this, we are able to provide a specialized and professional service to families.
