TOT on Field Visit: Participants were visited a remedial school run by Aroh Foundation & spent some time with children. Students of Remedy school performed recitation ,sang some songs & also performed in front of the PREF members .The PREF members also learnt about the different vocational courses in the school like cutting & tailoring & beauty culture & then went on to visit the community .

TOT on Tele-Communication: The process in telephone counselling is a bit different and you may have to take more control of the process than face to face counselling. This is because often callers don’t feel constraint by time and can become comfortable and just want to chat rather than to focus on their thoughts. Also telephone counsellors generally only have a single interaction and there may be no possibility of ongoing work which is more often occurs in case to face counselling.

Specific phone counselling skills:

  1. Personal preparation
  2. Note taking and staying focused
  3. Micro skills- minimal encourages
  4. Use of silence and listening to tears
  5. Terminating a call

Challenges

  1. Nuisance calls
  2. Regular callers
