AKTAU. October 4. KAZINFORM - Volunteers Irene Hill and Robin Scott from Charitable Foundation "Enable Trust" from England, for 20 years have been visiting Aktau to conduct psychological seminars and training sessions, to hold regular courses for teachers and parents on the topic of "communicative and emotional contact with the children".

Initially, the work of volunteers was directed to the aid of those who faced the problem of addiction, and later - to help parents and teachers in dealing with psychological problems among children and adults.

"The participants have got not only theoretical knowledge, they have been taught practical skills. Only in the course of fixing the theoretical material we realized we have seen the importance of not just understanding the problem, but comprehensive study of the material and the development of certain skills, because of the need to change for the sake of ideology, and for adults it is very difficult to critically look at their thoughts and actions", said the participant of the training Valentina Zaitseva, the educator of Tolkyn yard club.

The trainers were received by a public association "For a good city" in Aktau, which is headed by Flyura Denisova.

"Our association is helping vulnerable people and families who find themselves in difficult situations by offering financial, psychological, and pedagogical support. For professionals of the Association these courses, having been organized by volunteers of Enable Trust, became a good school. First and foremost, they are happy that they can even deliver more qualified assistance to those in need, those who come to us", said the head of the public association.
