This project aims to empower parents, families, during the critical transition to adolescence through a comprehensive series of workshops. The workshops will cover a wide array of essential topics, including strategies for handling difficult behaviour, imparting crucial life skills, supporting children with additional needs in exploring their unique potential, preparing parents as well as children for the challenges of puberty, and nurturing vocational skills.
Central to this initiative is the identification of each child's distinct interests and strengths, guiding them towards meaningful vocations. The Nayi Disha team recognizes the urgent need for such support, as there is currently a lack of awareness and training programs for families of young children, particularly in navigating the complex phase of puberty. This deficiency results in heightened stress levels within families, a lack of meaningful engagement for young individuals with disabilities, limited vocational preparedness, ongoing dependence on families, and potential mental health concerns due to insufficient activities for these youths. The project will collaborate with partner NGOs and parent groups, both in-person and remotely, to deliver workshops in Hindi, adapting a hybrid model to meet participant requirements.
