Exiting a case refers to a point in a case where all follow-ups have been ceased and the case files have been closed. The caseworker does not actively reach out to the client. However, the client is still a part of the larger Prerana universe and may reach out to Prerana in case of any assistance.

Communicating Sensitively with Children – A Guide

This document is based on the observations of Prerana’s counselor while working with children and caregivers in Child Care Institutions (CCI) in Mumbai, Maharashtra. A caregiver not only provides for a child’s necessities but also helps them develop a perception of themselves, and the world around them. However, while being responsible for this, caregivers often tend to commit some unintentional fallacies in communicating with the child.
The document has been created to help the caregivers understand how they can sensitively communicate with children by being mindful of the child’s needs and emotions. It features various communication strategies that can be used in the field. It may also provide insights into the thought processes of children and the way they perceive the world around them.

Mental Health at Child Care Institutions during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant impact in all areas of life. While we grapple with the health and economic impact of the pandemic, its profound effect on our mental health remains under-addressed. This is especially true for children, who often remain silent victims of any calamity.
As we closely work with children residing in Child Care Institutions (CCI), we have been able to observe the pandemic’s impact on their mental health as well as the mental health of the caregivers that work closely with them. To address this and shed more light on the issue we developed a guide documenting our observations and suggestions of practical strategies that can be used.
