KOZHIKODE: Divorce often makes many lives a living hell as the wounds that leave on the couple as well as children will never be healed.
In a bid to reduce the number of divorces, Kozhikodebased Navajeevan Community Mental Health Centre has launched a 24x7 Dial Before Divorce service.The couples who need counselling and personal guidance will get the service through helpline 944688873 or 9447191237.
One of the counsellors of a 15member team will help tackle the problems faced by estranged couples. The helpline started its operation last week and the centre has already received around 30 calls from various parts of the district.Speaking to Express Dr C K Anil Kumar, the founder of Navajeevan and chief coordinator of the programme, said that the mutual trust and understanding between life partners have been declining day by day leading to divorce. Referring to some of the cases, Kumar said an emotional teacher had once called him up requesting him to unite him with his wife who had run away with her lover while they went for shopping soon after their marriage.The expert panel, including psychologist Anil Kumar, psychiatrist S Santhakumar, psychological counsellor K Sheela and advocate A Karunakaran will provide personal counselling to unite them. The Centre is also planning to constitute similar service in five more districts Kasargod, Wayanad, Kannur, Malappuram and Thrissur in the coming days.
