The workshop also gave counselors an insight on how they can work on themselves to be able to work well and effectively on the target population. 

 

The excerpts from Fr.Joe helped the attendees more profoundly to gauge the areas and patterns to be given glances for change as per the need and requirement of the whole therapeutic itinerary.
