EMOTIONAL STEP-DOWN PROJECT
ESP
In line with the constitution of Cheirology Research Organisation (CRO) – a registered non-profit organisation – (050-437-NPO), the Emotional Step-down Project (ESP) aims to provide counselling services based on the principles of Chirology.
Background.
Since the registering of CRO in 2006 there has been a noticeable rise in the need for a service that provides individuals with a safe environment where they can recuperate after emotional trauma.
Individuals are often discharged from facilities where they received emotional therapy, but are not ready to return to their home environment yet.
Other individuals cannot afford or wish not to be admitted to institutions where they can receive emotional therapy, yet their home environments are not conducive for emotional healing. In these cases, there is a need for a safe environment where emotional healing is possible. Such a safe environment (step-down) is essential in the emotional healing process, and this is the service that the Emotional Step-down Project aims to establish.
A pilot step-down facility will be established with the intention to establish others in areas where there is a need for this service.
PROJECT LOCATION.
The pilot project will be launched in Kaapsehoop, Mpumalanga, South Africa.
