Hear from our participants 

"With an increasing shift towards the global ageing population, there is a rising need for more people to be better equipped to counsel the elderly. We must also learn this to support each other and age well together." 

Mdm Chua Chai Hoon, Counselling Older Persons, April 2022

"The course is appropriate for new learners and those interested in working in places that involve communication with the elderly. It's also a refresher course for counsellors, and I strongly recommend it."
