Case Study: Long Term Illness

Location: Mwanza
Problem: Long Term Illness
Solution: Counseling

A troubled employee contacted our service to discuss a recent medical diagnosis. He had learnt that he had a long-term illness that would hinder his ability and he felt uncomfortable talking about it with his supervisor. He was concerned not only for his own health, but his ability to support his family. He reported feeling overwhelmed by the decisions he needed to make about work, family and finances.

The counselor discussed multiple options with him. Through the counseling, he has accepted that he cannot solve all his problems at once and has to take one day at a time. His counseling sessions are ongoing and he is making progress
