From working to prevent gender-based violence in Lae to delivering counselling support at the community level in Sandaun Province or in the private sector in West New Britain, it is agreed the best counselling both empowers the client and has a positive impact in the broader community.

This was one of the key messages of Papua New Guinean professionals who recently completed a Graduate Certificate in Counselling, awarded by Griffith University in Australia under the Australia Awards Short Course program.
