Parents can do more to help their children if they are willing to look closely at their own lives, according to Yeaswantie Beekhoo PhD (Seema), a holistic psychologist, who is attached to the Childcare and Protection Agency.
Dr Beekhoo has been at the agency for the last four years and for her the motivation was that she wanted to get more involved with the public in her field, after her years of experience in the educational aspect. She lectured in psychology from the diploma to master’s level at the American University of Peace Studies for some ten years.
The first in-residence psychologist of the agency believes that its philosophy, mandate and objective are good for the country and she has since incorporated her style to make her functions impactful.
