VCAN core clinical activities cover the whole life span ranging from children to the elderly. We provide services in our centres in north and south Goa and in schools and institutes.
Our child guidance clinic which began over ten years ago continues to deliver services at our two centres in Porvorim (north Goa) and Raia (south Goa). The most common referrals are for children with developmental delays or learning difficulties. A multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, developmental pediatrician and occupational therapist provide the services.
Monthly data is maintained for all clients.
VCAN also holds separate clinical and research meetings once a month. In the clinical meeting, all clinicians of Sangath meet to discuss clinical issues, such as cases or clinical audits. This is an important opportunity for clinicians to update their skills and their professional development. The research meeting comprises presentations on new projects, findings of our research studies or on research methods.
