Abstract:The capacity and work of the 96 Counseling Assistants (CAs) attached to the Ministry of Social Services (MSS) and 7 Counseling Officers (COs) of the Ministry of Child Development and Women�s Affairs (MCDWA) working across the country were assessed. While there was a female preponderance of CO/CAs, they on average served a population of 133,000. The commonest problems encountered by these categories of staff include the marital/ family problems (41.4%), educational problems (13.8%) and mental disorders and psychological problems (11%).
The diversity and complexity of problems dealt with by CAs often exceeds the initial training they have received. However, through self-study and ad hoc or supplementary training they have sought to improve their skills and knowledge. While the CAs dealt with many serious psychosocial problems at community level, were also committed to their own professional development and improving the services they provide. |
