PROJECT PARAMARSH:

(Under avenue of Mental and Emotional health)

Meher Prem Universal Peace Foundation is making a pioneering effort with the aim of meeting the need for counselling in our society.

The increasing complexity of life and the rapid change in values are evident.

The lack of time for introspection and understanding oneself leads to stress and confusion.

Many people feel “burdened” with responsibilities, which are viewed as stress producing. It results in individuals not being what they were meant to be- i.e. to function from their highest faculties. Counselling will enable one to find a true purpose in life. This knowledge will help one become a productive member of the society and the individual will be able to lead to a very fulfilling life.

Psychologists know that each one of us ‘wants to’ give one’s best, but very often do not know ‘how to’ go about the process. Appropriate guidance at this time can help avoid a lot of pain and suffering which manifests itself as problems of society like delinquency, addiction, etc.

The organization is equipped with a team of professionals from various fields who are assisting anyone requiring it.
