NRIs living in the UAE mostly comprise of nuclear families. Without the emotional support of the joint family system, due to trauma associated with relocating to a new country, job related issues etc, people are becoming stressed out and this is starting to extract a heavy toll on marital relationships.
With increase in the number of couples with marital issues approaching the Consulate for help, a need was felt to start counseling sessions at the Consulate in addition to the already existing facilities for psychological, financial and legal counseling at the PBSK.
