Counselling & Support Services
DNA testing can evoke strong emotions for all involved parties. It can provide clarity by confirming relationships, alleviating uncertainties, but it can also disrupt established beliefs about biological connections. The results offer conclusive evidence of biological relationships, which may not always align with cultural or perceived familial bonds.
These outcomes can have a profound impact not only on the individuals being tested but also on their family members and friends. The potential life-changing nature of the results may lead to difficulties in understanding and accepting how family dynamics may shift following DNA testing. Thus, we highly recommend that all individuals involved in DNA testing seek counselling both before undergoing testing and after receiving the results.
When children are involved in DNA testing, it’s crucial to explain the purpose of the test and its implications in an age-appropriate manner. Counselling before testing can help maintain a supportive relationship with the child, and additional counselling may be necessary if the results are unexpected or emotionally challenging for the child. Seeking counselling from an external professional may sometimes be more comfortable for the child than discussing these issues within the immediate family.
For paternity cases before the Family Law Court, counselling options may be available. Additionally, counselling assistance can be accessed through various links provided above for cases not brought before the court.
