Team Saathi is far more than counselors; they are guardians, provide a chance of achievement to each client who walks through their door for help. With their advice and kindness, the person feels more confident with increased self-esteem than anyone could imagine. With this the client feels their dignity and self-worth is on a path of recovery.
