RAHAT
(RELIEF) - A COUNSELING CENTER FOR ELDERLY
| The
challenge of caring for a growing number of elderly is yet to be faced
squarely. As people grow older, especially in developing countries like
India, they encounter several problems. Some are physical and obviously
age related. Some are due to the social structure, break up of joint
family system, poverty, loss of employment, widowhood. Some emotional problems like loss of self - esteem,
lowered life satisfaction, dependence and depression, feeling of being
ignored by family members .All sorts of abuses such as: mal- treatment and
physically, vocally and mental torture etc. Some problems are cognitive problems – onset of
dementia and mental deterioration. Medicines or medical profession alone
cannot provide solutions to all these problems. Nor do we have adequate
professionals-physical or mental health professionals who can attend to
the needs of elderly, especially of those requiring institutionalization or long term care within family or those who have disabilities. Even those elderly who are not ‘sick’ or disabled do
need help and guidance to live their life with dignity, with autonomy and
in a disease free style. Hence it is necessary to build up a net work of
support system or care system so that family and community together can
create an age-friendly atmosphere so that senior citizens can live and die
with dignity. Keeping in view the association thought to provide
counselling to such needy senior citizens or their family members on
