It is true the year 2020 has not been easy, it could be considered an armageddon in its own right. In Australia we have seen fire, drought, floods and the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the whole world.
In the best of times, with less catastrophes, we still witness or experience first-hand relationship breakdowns, but in times of upheaval these numbers have exacerbated due to couples spending more time together at home, space constraints and financial concerns. High divorce rate and dysfunctional relationships are contributing factors to people experiencing depression, anxiety, addictions, isolation and homelessness.
The children of these relationships are in the midst of it all and are not sure how to cope. Children are also struggling with their own peer relationships, feeling insecure after experiencing a lockdown and losing touch with face to face interactions.
It’s up to our teachers and the education system to notice how our students are coping in the classroom. As such it is our aim to equip them with skills and psychological insight,
so they are able to assist their students in their time of need.
How the Grassroots Approach Programs tackles these Issues is holistically,
by training the Teachers, Students and Parents.
Arsho Kalloghlian, Practicing Conselor, Psychotherapist and Trainer (sought after speaker – due to her knowledge, engaging personality, clear and logical presentation style), provides the necessary skills to restore and improve relationships, as the way we learn relational skills is either by having good role models or through education.
The Grassroots Approach Programs (GAP), has been designed to provide such knowledge and skills. Whether it’s to do with family members or within our workplace, there are relational skills that could transform the dynamics and the culture of dysfunctional relationships. This is true even when only one person in the relationship or group has the desire, awareness and the skill to bring about change. It can be said that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) applies to all levels and areas of life – vertically from management to staff, teacher to student, or horizontally with family, friends and colleagues.

“Hi, my name is Chloe, I’m 17 and I’m in Year 12… The only subject at school that lightly touches on dealing with emotions is PDHP, but I don’t always find it relevant for me, it’s usually very general and has basic information. In today’s program I liked the topic on Emotional Intelligence and how to keep going in your marriage even if there are conflicts and issues, especially since it is possible to overcome them. Personally I had decided I wasn’t going to get married but after today marriage is something I would consider….”
Chloe, Year 11 Student.
“Our senior High school students had the pleasure of attending a program called
‘Grassroots Approach’. The focus of the program was about the importance of healthy relationships – especially in marriage…Such information and discussions are often overlooked within schools with adolescents leaving school without the knowledge of how marriage works and the commitment necessary to make the relationship work…Our Senior students were thankful and appreciative of the program and the valuable information it provided.”
Edward, Principal.
