Therapy and counselling

Paul was a 14-year-old boy living with his parents, Deborah and Ade, and three siblings.  His parents migrated from Nigeria 15 years ago.  A local organisation worked with Paul’s drug abuse and truancy while we provided:

• culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Deborah’s post-natal depression
• an attachment-based parenting intervention incorporating Nigerian cultural beliefs
• couple therapy with the parents regarding the history of domestic violence

Six months later:

• Deborah’s mood and activity levels had improved
• Paul’s school attendance was above 85%
• Communication between the parents and children has improved
• Communication between Deborah and Ade had improved
• Ade moved back in with the family
