Marriage counseling centers will be launched in South Khorasan cities – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr reporter, Hojat-ul-Islam Mehdi Motaghifar said on Tuesday night in the gathering of the provincial counseling activists: Marriage counseling centers will be set up in the cities based on the approval of the Provincial Youth Affairs Organizing Headquarters with the cooperation of the governors.
He said: In this regard, it was decided that the governors should provide free places to the counselors so that marriage counseling centers can be set up with the support we give them to pay the counseling fees.
Pointing out that marriage counseling will be free for those who cannot afford it, Motaghi Far added: There are 430 marriage counseling centers in the country and soon the process of issuing counseling licenses will be done electronically by the Ministry of Sports and Youth.
He said: There is a lot of capacity in the field of marriage and family counseling in the country, which helps to form a sustainable life to empower motivations.
Hojjat-ul-Islam Motaghi Far criticized the wrong culture of going to a counselor after marriage and continued: The principle is that couples should go to a counselor before marriage and there is no problem in their life together.
Emphasizing on creating a culture for counseling before marriage, he said: “Unfortunately, we are doing very poorly in the field of teaching life skills, and one of the problems that causes divorce is the lack of life skills and lifestyle.”
According to Motaghi Far, when couples are not aware of the necessary skills to live together, the smallest problem may lead to separation and divorce, which imposes a lot of costs on them.
The Director General of Youth Social Development and Planning Office of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, stating that counseling centers are the safest place to learn life skills, continued: Counselors should provide the desired training in an artistic and professional manner.
Pointing out that the educational content provided should be in accordance with the needs of the society, he said: In South Khorasan, it should be checked that if the educational workshops do not have the required results, the content should be revised.
Hojat-ul-Islam Motaghifar said: Those who want to get a consulting office license from us, in coordination with the country’s consulting system, the interview for issuing a license will be conducted in virtual form and the desired license will be issued within a month at the latest.
