Community Services in Canada
Daricha School offers a comprehensive range of counseling services specifically designed to support newcomer Afghan children and youth in Canada. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by young Afghan refugees, Daricha School provides both one-to-one counseling sessions with experienced professionals and accessible online counseling options. These services aim to create a safe space for children to express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, which is particularly crucial for those who have experienced trauma or significant life changes. By addressing their individual needs and concerns, Daricha School empowers Afghan youth to take the first steps toward healing and personal growth in their new environment.
In addition to individual counseling, Daricha School’s services include service navigation to help families connect with additional resources and support systems within their communities. This guidance helps newcomer families and children understand and access healthcare, educational support, and community programs. By assisting families in navigating these services, Daricha School contributes to a smoother integration process, fostering a sense of belonging and support. This holistic approach also ensures that Afghan children and youth feel connected to their surroundings, which aids in building resilience and coping strategies.
Daricha School’s counseling program places special emphasis on helping Afghan youth develop mental strength, resilience, and conflict resolution skills. By teaching non-violent techniques to handle disagreements, children are encouraged to adopt positive approaches to manage stress and navigate social challenges. This not only helps them integrate into Canadian society more effectively but also builds foundational skills for healthy, non-violent communication and problem-solving. Daricha School’s approach provides these young individuals with the tools to thrive, empowering them to become confident, well-adjusted members of their communities in Canada.
