On the 23rd of February, our training team went to Naguilian, La Union. There were worked with Bang-Ar, a faith-based social ministry. We provided training in some topics of family counseling. Approximately 25 attended.

Rev. Joel Aguirre did an overview of the Psychology of the Family, followed by group work on Dysfunctional Families in the Bible. After this, Mrs. Tess Leones spoke on Responsible Parenting and Parenting Styles. In the afternoon, Dr. Sim Dang-Awan spoke on Understanding Alcoholism and the Alcoholic/Family.

It is our hope to broaden this in a two-day program with group counseling principles and practical workshop.
