ABSTRACT
Education systems in the world today are acting as the main agents for social change. Learners attending this systems are always away from their parents and other elderly people who would help them cope with challenges they face. This has necessitated inclusion of guidance and counselling department services in most institutions. In Kenya the government introduced this in all learning institutions. Even with this, students studying …show more content…

Narayana (2002) observes that in the traditional setting, people sought solace and comfort to their problems from family members and close associates. Due to this attitude and easy lifestyle of those days, no individual suffered undue stress. However, Kenya has undergone rapid social, cultural and technological change since independence. Improved health-care has led to a rise in population and expansion in education which have enabled many Kenyans to be enlightened. This change has brought about urbanization which has also caused rural-urban migration. The rural-urban migration has resulted in progressive breakdown of the traditional large family set ups in favour of nuclear ones (ROK, 1979). This development has therefore interfered with the traditional machinery of offering guidance and counselling. Grandparents who offered the services have been left behind and parents find themselves in towns alone with their children. The parents cannot effectively offer the critically needed developmental guidance that the youths require because of their busy working schedules or because tradition forbids them to tread on certain “taboo” topics. Young people therefore have grown up without crucial guidance and counselling (Migiro,

    Survivors Support Group I am currently on the mental health track, so looking at a potential group that I might encounter would encompass female victims of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) which is also referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV) and rape or sexual assault victims (as statues vary depending on the states definition). Both forms of abuse stem from a power and control dynamic. The use of force during sex is not about sexual pleasure for the perpetrator, instead the pleasure comes from being in a position of power and having control over another human being. The act of hurting and demeaning the woman is the real pleasure. DVA/IPV consists of physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse.

Instead of studying for long hours as our ancestors have done, we choose to satisfy ourselves with social entertainment and other fun activities then look for easy ways out when it comes to tests or final exams by taking drugs. On the other hand the fast lifestyle we have in today’s society also impacts our way of learning with limited number of hours to focus on school which are taken by work, family, and other personal issues. Students do not have much time to study the large quantity of materials that’s presented by difficult courses which causes frustration and impatience.

    Families can be regarded as the foundation of society. For Fleetwood (2012: 1), the importance of families is highlighted by the fact that it would be difficult to comprehend a society that could function without them. In addition, even though families and their compositions vary across societies and cultures, the family can be viewed as a universal social institution (Macionis & Plummer, 2012: 625. Specifically, according to Macionis and Plummer (2012: 625) and Neale (2000:1), it has the ability to unite individuals into cooperative groups via social bonds (kinship) and is ultimately experienced differently from individual to individual.
