Module VIII uses six critical steps to empower clients. Helps to understand their situations and possible solutions.
It is not counselling, rather a gateway for further programs and services.
The Philosophy behind this session is to help “empower” the client, it is important to note, this is done by the use of six critical steps which help the client understand his/her situation and what is to be done.
