Genetic Counseling Framework

Genetic counseling is a process where trained professionals help individuals and families understand their genetic health. This includes assessing the risk of inherited conditions, discussing genetic testing options, and interpreting test results. Counselors provide support and information, helping clients make informed decisions about their health and family planning. The framework emphasizes communication, education, and emotional support, ensuring that people can navigate complex genetic information and its implications for their lives. Ultimately, it aims to empower individuals with knowledge about their genetic risks and options.
