Outreach Counselling & Home Visits

In an area where poverty levels are already high, HIV/AIDS has only exacerbated the tremendous hardships faced by community in their lives.

Due to the lack of access to psychosocial services PLWA, OVC and even guardians dealt with their own individual traumas silently and alone. ACE Counsellors provide daily professional counselling services at the ACE resource centres and make home visits to clients to follow-up on issues, identify living conditions and provide the necessary advice and assistance. This could be in the form of referrals to health centres, support groups, Child Rights Committees, and other service providers.

Sessions last a minimum of 45 minutes and Counsellors help their clients reach a point where they feel they can live positively and openly, knowing that support is available.
