Psychological care interest group.

[John Tharakan]

Dear Steve,

I am attaching a file on the psychological care interest group of which I am a member. As there is no time for me to get feed back, I am giving a concept report of what we are doing and are planning to do at our Rehabilitation centre at Don Bosco Nava Jeevan, Ramanthapur. Fr. Balashowry our Rector will represent us at the AGM. I hope to be able to take up the rest of the task as the interest group as soon as I am free from the current urgent tasks.Yoou will notice that the Psychological care is not seen in isolation.

 

I am mailing this to the yarindiaforum so that that activity is also included.

TD John

Dear Kuriakose, Michael,

 

I am responding to this mail that we received from Fr. Mathew Thomas on 30th July 2011. I am replying to this today because I have received a reminder from Fr. Stephen Rodrigues who is coordinating the different interest groups, including ours.

 

Today is 26th and he wants our report for presentation at the AGM at Guwahati. Are you attending the AGM. In that case you can report to him directly. All the same if you reply to this (REPLY ALL), we will all have our information. I shall do my part shortly. I went through all the past mail and only now I was able to make head or tail of the whole thing. In the meantime I read the beautiful document on ALTERNATIVE CARE!

 

I look forward to hearing from you at the earliest.

TD John

Greetings from Don Bosco Snehalaya, Vadodara, Gujarat.

I would only like to remind you of the gathering of information
regarding your interest group together with any programs or other
events that you have carried out with regard to this topic, ------ a
type of short report.

I would be very happy if you could please email this report to my

Dear Fr.TD John, Fr. Kuriakose Pallikunnel, Fr. Michael Pamparail,

Greetings  from YaR Forum!

Fifteen Interest Groups that represent essential dimensions of YaR Ministry were formed by the General Body of YaR.  You have accepted to be part of Psychological care  Interest group. Thank You very much for that. The Responsibility of each interest group is to animate and build up the capacity of our YaR centers & YaR personnel  in the dimension of Juvenile Justice.

The members of your   group could come together and discuss their plans and achieve the results. The members also could work through email. At present the YaR Forum has no resources to support your efforts financially. I am making an all out effort to find some resources. But it will be very limited. Our real resource is you and your commitment and your  talent which you have offered to share.

We expect from your group:

.     1. Introduce and lead discussions in the YaR Forum Google  Groups ( an email discussion group) regarding your dimension. At least four to five discussions this year ( 2011-12).

     2. One well prepared PowerPoint presentation regarding your dimension during this year.

     3. A manual of 15 to 20 pages by February 2012 regarding your dimension which we want to print  and publish.

( The manual could contain:In general about this dimension. All that a YaR center  and its  personnel need to know about it, the international standards, National  standards, Legal Systems, Policies, the situations regarding that dimension in the country. The national and international situation on the matter.   Practices  and models  in the YaR centers and other organizations regarding this dimension. What is YaR Forum’s  attitude  to it as according to its  statutes, child policy etc).

 Fr. Steve Rodriguez, Director of Snehalaya, Baroda was so generous as to co-ordinate these groups towards achieving the objectives. While I thank him, I request you to support his leadership with your cooperation.

 

With Kind Regards and Prayers.

Fr. Mathew Thomas.
