The guide aims to: * strengthen the capacity of service providers to address the individual and collective psychosocial needs of children and young people; * provide an easy to use two-in-one guide and reference material for child counsellors; * promote the personal and professional development of counsellors and other staff working with children and young people, and * help service providers to assess and deal with challenges in working with orphans and other vulnerable children"
