Counsellor says family's grief is understandable

Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, a Ghanaian counsellor, Seyram Avortri, gave insights into the reaction of the young man's relatives.

While acknowledging that their action was understandable, he urged them to seek counselling services.

"The family's distress and distrust are understandable. They not only mourn the loss of a child but also feel a breach of protection from those entrusted with his safety. However, I encourage the family to express their emotions in counselling sessions, grief support groups, or through restorative circles involving trusted community or faith leaders. I am here; they can reach out," he said."
