I've only just read your message of Jan 15, having just returned from
Western Samoa where I was conducting a short counselling skills training
course, so you'll understand why your message has sparked my interest. I
also return often to work in Fiji (where I formerly lived for 3 years)
where I provide training and supervision in counselling and community
education (specifically in child sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence and
sexual harassment) for the workers of the Fiji Womens Crisis Centre. I met
Christina Ramosaea from the Family Support Centre in the Solomons when I
was in Fiji last August, at the Pacific Regional Meeting for Women
Against Violence. (Women from 13 small Pacific countries were there). Do
you know her?
It would be good to talk with you about working in these developing
Pacific countries, especially issues around counselling, training, community
education etc from a PCP perspective.
You might want to contact me directly, on cec02@uow.edu.au.
I'm a member of the University of Wollongong PCP group, and in my doctorate
I'm exploring sexual assault/abuse counselling, using a PCP model.
