Following a request by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea (ELC PNG), Men of Honour program manager, Stanley Bakere, is in Lae to train the school counsellors. The training is being conducted at ELC PNG's Ampo headquarters and consists of 20 teachers and chaplains. Training covers topics on how to spot the signs of alcohol and drug abuse, and the best way to treat and monitor the concerned individuals. 'For the majority of them, this is the first counselling training they have attended so I have had to work slowly with them in introducing them to the whole counselling skills,' said Bakere.
