A graduate from Wits Business School with a diploma in business management, Laurence Grigorov serves as director of Laurence Martin Developments, a residential development and construction firm in South Africa. Laurence Grigorov also supports local charities such as the Johannesburg Children’s Home.
A registered nonprofit, the Johannesburg Children’s Home provides homes for children who have experienced abandonment, neglect, or emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Since its establishment in 1892, the organization has tried to bring healing to children through a diverse range of programs, including therapy.
The home’s therapy program involves one-on-one sessions with the children from therapists who draw on techniques such as psycho-social counseling and play therapy to encourage full expression and the development of self-esteem. Therapists look for ways to enhance each child’s emotional health as well as promote skills in areas ranging from social interaction to sensory input.
Each member of the organization’s team works together to ensure all the child’s needs are met. For example, the occupational therapist looks specifically at ways to assist the children in developing competence for school, play activities, and taking care of themselves.
