Re: aunt in Zimbabwe finds people to chat every day, but they do great things to save lives.
here, people who can get perfect psychotherapy are not rich or expensive, and for the general people who are suffering from depression and anxiety, it is almost impossible to get treatment...
everything has been transferred in 2006. That year, one of the 10 psychiatrists in the country, Dr. Dixon Chibanda, noticed a situation.
he found that many Zimbabwe granny likes to listen to the neighbors, friends and village people around them, comfort them, and give their own opinions.
although old Gran have no professional psychological training, or they may not know what psychology is, but because of their years of experience, compassion, enthusiasm for helping others and local prestige, these Granny can help very many people get relieved from their sad state of mind. And even free.
this is wonderful with the professional psychotherapy that you do. Dr. ~
Dixon Chibanda knows that such a number of old granny, maybe... After teaching them some professional psychological knowledge, they can help solve the shortage of Zimbabwe psychotherapy resources. So in 2006, the doctors convened a group of special granny who had many years of listening to other people's pain and giving advice.
he gave her grandma professional short-term training, telling them what was depression, what was anxiety, and taught them a set of diagnostic methods and theories.
