Genetic Counseling Model

The Genetic Counseling Model is a process that helps individuals understand genetic conditions and their implications. A trained genetic counselor assesses family histories, discusses genetic risks, and interprets test results. They provide information about inherited traits, potential health issues, and supportive resources, enabling informed decisions about family planning and health management. The goal is to empower individuals with knowledge while offering emotional support, ensuring that they can make choices that align with their values and circumstances. This model emphasizes communication, education, and personalized care in navigating genetic information.
