Testimonials
I have so much insights from the workshop and I know I’ll need a lot of time to review my notes to gain much more. Very thankful to everyone involved in this for organizing the workshop!
– Anonymous, Family Intervention Seminar in the School Setting, 2021
I like how the topics were presented in a practical and realistic way. It covers some realistic experiences which allowed me to understand it easily. I also like the part where the facilitators are having an exchange of conversation while bringing in the key points that are related to the topic which has been discussed. It was helpful in a way that participants can also engage in the conversation though unfortunately I did not really engaged myself as I was shy and nervous when it comes to sharing my thoughts.
