For children navigating difficult circumstances, a caring voice, a familiar face and access to professional support can make all the difference. Because every child deserves to be heard, to be supported, and to be reminded that their past does not define their future.
As we honour the enduring legacy of His Majesty The Fourth Druk Gyalpo, the Youth Development and Rehabilitation Centre (YDRC) today launched its Virtual Consultation Facility. Through it, children at YDRC can now connect remotely with psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists, while also staying closer to their families and loved ones.
In collaboration with UNICEF Bhutan, The PEMA Secretariat is strengthening rehabilitation and reintegration programmes at YDRC through greater access to sports, music, books and psychosocial support, creating an environment where children can heal, learn and thrive. Let us renew our collective commitment to give every child not just a second chance, but every chance to dream, grow and build a brighter tomorrow.
The launch was graced by the Venerable Lam Neten of Chukha Rabdey, Hon’ble Drangpon of the Dzongkhag Court, Hon’ble Dzongrab of Chukha Dzongkhag, the OC of YDRC, the OC of Tsimasham, and sector heads of Chukha Dzongkhag.
