Counselling Clinics Sahayta volunteers who are survivors or caregivers of survivors, attend clinics in three departments of PGI : Radiotherapy, Internal Medicine and Haemtology and Paediatric Oncology. With the chief focus on emotional support to the patients and family members, hospital volunteers discuss and distribute printed informaiton on cancer, its treatment and side effects. Practical advice on diet, exercises and coping with the side effects of treatment is also given. Oncology Wards and Chemotherapy Rooms are also visited so as to cheer the patients. On an average 10 to 15 patients and their families are counselled per day and thus provided the necessary courage to fight the disease. Home counselling by our psychologist, Dr. Nirmala Chaudhary helps the patients get over the mental agony which they undergo. Acceptance of the disease along with the positive approach coupled with family counselling remains the main task for the visiting psychologist. Each case is counselled and followed up very carefully.
