The family is the most important unit of society. A stable family environment is
absolutely essential for the nurture of children. It is here that an individual
imbibes values and learns life skills. From time immemorial Indian society has promoted
the joint family. And rightly so! For whatever its disadvantages, the joint family
provides an ideal environment for bringing up children.
The presence of a large, stable extended family helps children pick up social skills
and learn the art of harmonious and altruistic corporate living. It is here that
ethical and moral values are imbibed. Such an environment produces good and stable
human beings who are an asset to any society because these individuals bring to
society what they received within the family. In recent times the joint family has
given way to the nuclear family.
What once was the joint responsibility of many individuals now rests solely on the
husband-wife pair. Added to this the extended family which functioned as a buffer
to and arbiter of conflicts is no longer available. Together with today’s fast and
furious life style, change in values and man’s greed and self-centredness, we appear
to be sitting on a powder keg.
Having recognized the enormity of the problem and the need for urgent action, Lions
club has decided to start the Centre.
The qualified staff at the Centre, constantly net working with lawyers, counselors
and psychiatrists provide holistic solutions to the problems ranging from harassment
by husband and in-laws and other problems faced by women in a family to problems
encountered by teenagers and students.
However the primary focus at the centre is ensuring the stability and health of
the family unit. When people with marital or family problems approach us, our priority
is to help the family overcome their differences and to promote cordial relationship
between the members so that the health of the family is restored.
Help is also rendered in the form of :
* investigation and assessment in the case of dowry
harassment and aid in registering a case if that is called for,
* free legal advice and aid,
* invoking police assistance in the case of domestic
violence,
* psychiatric counseling,
* student counseling,
* shelter for women rendered homeless because of
domestic discord and violence.
