Social Welfare at the Core of DWish
Extending Support Beyond the Therapy Room
DWish is a social enterprise initiative of AKB Memorial Trust, and its essence is social welfare. The services are extended beyond the clinical intervention and education to families, communities, and less privileged sections of society.
Some of the social welfare initiatives in which we are involved include:
• Free parent counseling to address emotional wellness
• Parent support groups that foster shared learning and strength
• Workshops and training programs for parents, caregivers, and professionals
• Online therapy and guidance in the case of children from remote or unreachable areas
• Awareness programmes for the reduction of stigma due to neurodevelopmental disabilities
We strongly believe that empowering families is no less important than empowering children and continue right in the efforts toward developing a strong support system for both. Once you've made a valuation, the next thing is to know how to communicate effectively and negotiate confidently.
