Professional counselling
Most of HCG’s residents have traumatic family and personal experiences and are emotionally disturbed deep under. Psychological wounds, if left untreated, severely impact a person’s long term personality development and relationship with others. Resident clinical psychologists and counsellors at HCB provide professional counselling to residents to palliate the immediate pain, and in concert with ongoing homely care, rehabilitate the wounded soul and reinvigorate them to a fresh start.
