The Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Family Therapy is aimed at developing sensitization in this vital field, which is gaining greater salience in the present times. The contemporary social scenario has resulted in an increased need and demand for support in terms of counselling and family therapy, which is being increasingly recognized as an effective approach both for promoting positives like strengthening family ties, fostering positive parenting, and increasing resilience of individuals in vulnerable situations as well as for addressing negative aspects such as socio-psychological problems, maladaptive behaviours, declining mental health, and psychosomatic disorders that are being increasingly witnessed in the present times. However, though the need for counselling and family therapy support is being increasingly felt, there is a dearth of such support or a helping hand for promoting positive family processes and helping individual family members in distress in a comprehensive way. As a continuing education programme, this unique programme of study aims to enhance and promote the acquisition and fostering of the requisite knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills in the area of Counselling and Family Therapy.

 

A unique feature of this programme of study is that on successfully completing it, the learner can enroll for the second year of Master of Science in Counselling and Family Therapy (MSCCFT), in subsequent session through credit transfer, as per University Rules.

 

The programme of study is on offer in the July session only.
