UpperRoom: Counselling, Rehabilitation & Prayers
We understand that true care goes beyond meeting physical needs—it’s about nurturing the mind and spirit as well. That’s why we support the UpperRoom initiative, dedicated to providing vital counselling and rehabilitation for orphans and vulnerable children in care centers.
Empowering Emotional Resilience for Vulnerable Children
Children in orphanages and vulnerable communities often face trauma, loss, and emotional hardship. Yet, there’s a shortage of professionally trained counsellors in the sector. UpperRoom bridges this gap by equipping caregivers and volunteers with the tools and knowledge to offer effective psychosocial support.
Resilience isn’t just a trait—it’s a skill that can be developed.
Through counselling, children learn to cope with hardships, build self-esteem, and prepare for future challenges—not just as children, but as adults too.
What UpperRoom Offers
We are developing a comprehensive counselling toolkit in collaboration with policy makers and child protection experts. This toolkit covers:
- Confidentiality and child protection
- Record keeping and documentation
- When and how to counsel, principles and types of counselling
- Basic counselling skills and the counselling process
- Gathering materials and resources
- Case studies and real-world suggestions for specific reactions
- Strategies for older children coping with grief or trauma
- Guidance for counsellors facing challenges and seeking support
