KEY POINTS:

• One-Stop Center performed admirably during the COVID time. There are already over 700 One-Stop Centers operating across the country.
• People who work in these one-stop shops will be taught how to appropriately operate the Self Defense Shaheed Women Helpline and counsel them.
• The advanced training programme will be delivered in all of the regional languages that they want to be able to comprehend. NIMHANS has also built a website dedicated to this, which contains a wealth of information on training.

IMPLEMENTATION:

• The project, which has been painstakingly described by NIMHANS based on the Ministry’s expected requirements, will be delivered in two formats.
• All OSC functionaries, including security guards, cooks, helpers, caseworkers, counsellors, centre administrators, paramedical staff, and others, will receive basic training in one format.
• The second format will emphasise the advanced course, which will focus on various components such as multi-generational implications and lifetime trauma in cases of violence against women as well as professional principles in counselling.
