Healing Together

A Facilitator’s Resource for Ecumenical Faith and Community-Based Counselling

As a continent where the majority of the population are young people, Africa’s adolescent population is particularly affected.

This book addresses this lack. It is an important gift to enhance the role of churches to provide wholeness.
