Background
Ashutosh
Ashutosh was a 17 years old boy. He has a very happy family consisting of his parents and himself. They shared a very good bonding and he had a very happy childhood. As phases come in everyone’s life, he was exposed to an issue of his father viz., Shri Kasturbhai who lost all interest in his life and felt very depressed.

The challenge
Shri Kasturbhai lost his father and brother in a very short span of life. His mother behaved in a manner as if this son is responsible for everything. She started ignoring this son (Kasturbhai) and does not ask him for any guidance, instead took the guidance of his sisters. Shri Kasturbhai started feeling useless about himself, got depressed, lot interest in all the things of life and consequently, the atmosphere at home is very disturbed.

How counseling helped
Ashutosh contacted Sambandhah for the said issue. They took a personal session with the counselor and the counselor guided the wife and son to provide such atmosphere in the house to make him feel important and useful. His father was also counselled about the things happened to him which were out of his control and made him to accept the reality. Thereafter, as they had to leave to their home town, they took session through zoom.
