Helping Hand for the Survivors of AbuseAUGUST 7, 2015

The Department of Psychology organized a talk on “Psychological Support and Guidance for Survivors of Abuse” on 7 August 2015 for the students of the Department. The resource person for the talk was Mrs. Ashwini (Asst. Professor, Dept. of Psychology, Jain University). Her expertise in counseling and experience dealing with many abuse victims of different age groups made the session enlightening. The content of the session was about her hands on experience in dealing with the victims of abuse. She started the session explaining terminologies like victims, survivors and thrivers. People who have been abused are generally termed as “victims” who is someone completely broken down and has no strength or power to face life. Some victims become “survivors” who atleast have the ability to recover from the consequences of the abuse. But Mrs. Ashwini emphasized that as psychologists our aim should be to help these victims and survivors become “thrives” who can start performing even better in life, after the abuse. She also explained about various kinds of abuse and strategies to help such people to come out of their traumatic situation. At the end of the seminar, she enlightened the gathering by quoting “I am not What Happened to Me, I am What I Choose to Become”.

The Department of Psychology with the theme of “suicide prevention” had organised an activity on 3 September 2015, which was a Role play session on 'Telephonic counselling' in preventing suicide. Three teams participated from department of psychology and each team had two participants, one being the person who wants to commit suicide and the other being the counsellor - over phone. While the person who wants to commit suicide calls up the helpline for just sharing his/her feelings for the one last time, the role of the counsellor is to analyse, understand, empathise and convince the person that suicide is not the only solution, thereby saving the person. Each team exhibited their skills innovatively. While few focused on the need for

being a good role model, empathy and reflection, the others focused on the positive aspects teaching them positive reappraisal. Overall, the session focused on all the perspectives while addressing the client through a holistic approach. Students played the role of both the counsellor and the client. They came up with high intensity problems related to family and drug abuse and how to help those through counselling in a simple manner. The session came out to be fruitful in making the psychology students understand how to help a person over the phone in emergency situations.
