During the past, we provided Counselling services to the victims in various levels in the Central Province, as per the complaints received by Human Rights, Eradication of Child Labour and Migrants' units of our organization. Counselling services were provided continuously to those who were suffering
from mental depression in the rural and plantation areas in the Central Province, under the counselling programmes implemented by various units in our organization. We felt the urgent need of a permanent centre for counselling services. With this intention, we commenced a permanent counselling centre affiliated to Psycho-social counselling programme.Accordingly, a ne

Jansz, the Director-SETIK, explained the objectives and the need of this centre.
