Book Promotes Low Cost Creative Play for Vulnerable Children
Community Counsellor Training Toolkit OCTOBER 2007 — FHI/Namibia has developed a novel, client-centered approach to training community counselors that enables them to focus on the whole person. This means that counselors put HIV infection in the context of clients' lives, rather than isolating their sexual behaviors, risk patterns, or treatment needs.
Featured Partner: USAID Through our partners, such as USAID, FHI supports Namibia and its organizations in preventing the spread of HIV and improving HIV/AIDS care and support among those at highest risk.
FHI's office in Namibia is here to help. If you want to learn more about the office, visit the Contact Web page. |
