After the stupendous success of the SIX batches, the Health Promotion and Health Communication Unit of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will be organizing the Seventh “Pre-Marriage Orientation Counselling  for Happy Married Life”, which is a first of its kind course  in a government medical college , on 26-27 October  2010. This two days course is meant for MARRIED persons and UNMARRIED men and women, especially young adults, going to get married. The Seventh course is scheduled for 26-27 October 2010 and is open to any Indian citizen of more than 18 years of age .

 

Why this Course ?

 

 Incidence of marital discord and sexual disharmony, HIV/AIDS and
STDs amongst the young couples is rising. Apart from stress in general life,
it is believed that ignorance, myths and misconceptions about human body,
sex and failure to adjust in marriage are the principle reasons for this.
That is the motivation for starting such a course. This course aims to help
 the youth in preparing physically, socially and emotionally for married life in a better way.

 

A maximum of 30 participants will be registered per batch on “first come- first served” basis. A nominal registration fee will be charged for this
two days course. Participants will also be advised on screening for certain genetic and acquired diseases that can be transmitted from parents to their newborn children…for example Diabetes, Thalessemia etc

 

 

Eminent specialists will take sessions in this participatory course that will cover information on :

·       Tips for a Happy Married Life

·       How to choose your life partner?

·       Conflict Management in Married Life

·       Human and sexual anatomy;

·       Sexual functions, sexual problems and their solutions

·       Contraception;

·       Common sexual problems;

·        Sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs) including HIV/ AIDS,

·       Advice about screening for genetic diseases ; and
