Education and Training
We at Family Care Goa sincerely believe that one of the best ways to make a lasting difference in society is to teach, train and inspire its citizens to live lives of kindness, courtesy, and concern for others.
Training Professionals
Highly productive people share certain common traits: They are positive, energetic and motivated. They get along well with others and communicate effectively.
Family Care Goa helps people develop those traits, thereby enabling them to lead meaningful, motivated and more productive lives. We provide vital soft-skill training to employees, staff and management of companies and institutions to improve their human relations and people-handling skills, enrich their professional lives, and to help them develop to their fullest potential.
We cover 21st century-pertient topics such as stress management, teambuilding, and building better inter-personal relations. What makes our approach unique is our methodology. Our teams use music, theatre and meaningful interaction extensively so as to better help our audiences grasp concepts.
Seminars for Teachers and Parents
The world of tomorrow will be what the parents, teachers and caregivers of today make it.
We at Family Care Goa are, therefore, committed to providing them with the support and input that they need to build that future. We do this primarily by conducting training and motivational programmes & seminars. What makes a seminar or programme by Family Care Goa unique is not just the content, but also the presentation! Our methodology includes music, theatre, interaction & introspection and our goal is to inspire the attendees to become better custodians of our collective future.
For parents we conduct seminars on topics like Being Good Role Models, Spending More Time With Kids, Parenteening and the Dangers of Television.
For teachers we conduct seminars on Bringing Out the Best in Students, The Power of Appreciation and Being Committed to Excellence.
Character Education for Teenagers
The world of tomorrow will be what the children of today grow up to make it. We therefore endeavour to provide them with the input that they need to help them become good human beings.
We have seen that students will learn best what they enjoy the most. That is why, in order to effectively reach and teach them, the "have fun while you learn" method works very well. We have thus found that music and theater are very effective methods of teaching students good values.
We conduct character building seminars and programmes for middle and senior school students and our methodology involves approaching pertinent and relevant themes with just the right balance of serious input and lively music, skits and group activities.
Childcare Programmes
Family Care Goa offers a series of unique, interactive and high-impact music and theatre programmes on values that we would all like to see in children — good manners, respect for others, a good work ethic, respecting the environment, good health habits, positive friendships, handling peer pressure well, and becoming a responsible citizen at an early age.
These programmes have been met with much enthusiasm and have become a recurring part of many schools' activity schedule across Goa. School teachers and principals especially appreciate these programmes as they address important issues that caregivers are concerned about.
Alternative Education
In June 2009 we launched what we hope to be the first of many schools around the country, by creating "New Creations" a registered school that enables parents to give their children an alternative education through the homeschooling concept. Due to a lack of quality education and individual attention available in large schools, parents are excited about this opportunity as not only does it provide an education that even good private schools could provide if they were affordable for the average family, but it also covers a variety of topics preparing the children for life at large, both practically, morally and spiritually.
Mothers and Infants
Years of research and experience have given our highly trained volunteers a wealth of knowledge on the topics of Children and Parenting. We conduct workshops either on a large scale, or in small groups at individual's homes. Contact us if you would like to attend one of these workshops or enjoy some on a regular basis with other "Mom" friends at one of your houses. Decide on your top three parenting issues or questions and we will do a workshop or seminar for you!
Make Your Child A Genius
This is a well-developed program for 6 month babies to 5 year olds, that shows you how easy it is "Make Your Child A Genius" by teaching your young one everything and anything, ranging from complicated mathematical equations, to reading & encyclopedia knowledge.
Humanitarian Assistance
We believe that children are the nation's most precious, yet vulnerable resource. We are thus committed to providing emotional and educational support to underprivileged children.
The Tsunami that smashed into the coasts of Asia on the 26th of December 2004 left behind a trail of unprecedented devastation and despair. The coastal areas of Tamil Nadu were hit hard! — Thousands of people lost their lives and loved ones, fishing boats were either swept out to sea or smashed by the waves and property worth crores of rupees was destroyed. Although the Tsunami is no longer front page news, it remains an ever-present reality in the lives of the victims, and those who were affected by it in some way or the other will never forget it. Family Care Goa committed to helping victims emotionally as they prepared to walk down the long, hard road to recovery.
Family Care Goa's response to the "biggest natural disaster of modern history" can be found under the Gallery section of this site - year 2006. Our teams began working in the Tsunami affected areas at the earliest and were active in helping to rebuild the shattered lives of the victims. Our heartfelt thanks to those of you who helped us to reach out to the Tsunami victims in their hour of need. We hope that this will give you a glimpse of how far your help went and how all your well wishes and support continue to touch the lives of many!
Spiritual Support
Family Care Goa's efforts go beyond providing food and clothing to those whose stomachs hunger and whose clothes are threadbare. We also provide spiritual support to those whose spirits hunger and whose hearts grow thin.
Helping people to overcome stress, anxiety, and family difficulties is a goal that we work day in and day out to accomplish. We do this primarily through counseling programmes which we conduct throughout the year.
We also conduct weekly or bi-weekly motivational meetings which provide busy people a forum to find solutions to their problems, and organize seminars and retreats on a variety of topics for people from all walks of life.
