Rtn. Dr. Mrs. Shashi Jain and Rtn. Dr. Mrs. Harinder Jit Kaur and support of Secretary Rtn. Sundeep Singh Sawhney. The talks are being delivered by experienced psychologists, trained to handle such sensitive subjects in the spectrum of Child Psychology. Overall feedback was good, and school authorities expressed their gratitude.
This is a small step taken by Rotary Chandigarh Midtown in the Chandigarh region where there is lack of awareness regarding sexual abuse. We look forward to organizing more of these events with a hope to spread awareness, to create constructive dialogue and a brighter future for the school children.
