the clinics are rarely available on the bench, the granny is very popular, and people even call them "golden ladies".
although grandma did not have a complete training, although their treatment was somewhat unorthodox, according to a recent article by the Journal of the American Medical Association, the experts sent it. This low cost treatment does have a clear effect:
after 6 bench conversations, the percentage of depressive symptoms in the next 6 months is far less than the proportion of depressive symptoms (14% to 50%) in those who do not visit (14% to 50%), and this treatment is for anxiety and suicidal thoughts. More effective!
by teaching visitors a systematic approach to identifying problems and finding solutions, the treatment of Granny can make people better solve problems and control the feelings of life, as well as a higher sense of happiness.
from 2006 to 2016, granny has helped more than 27500 people in Zimbabwe relieve and cure mental illness, and they have become an indispensable force in the psychological treatment community in Zimbabwe. Now there are about 73 clinics with "friendly wooden chairs" in Zimbabwe, and about 300 people are bosom granny. Every day, year after year, they sit on the bench and listen to people's distress, heal their hearts and expect people to get better and better.
