The Regional Conferences will serve as a venue to all practicing counselors in all levels to discuss essential and practical elements on counseling. This will also provide an arena to update the needed skills and attitude to become more effective counselors. Exposures to different workshops, exchange of ideas and sharing of experiences truly open a wider perspective in understanding the role of counselors in our Philippines society, particularly in our respective regions.
