Lessons from Lilongwe: A Counselor Goes Abroad
Dr. Leah Clarke, faculty member in Messiah’s Graduate Counseling Program, recently went to Malawi
with a delegation of US counselors to support counseling in southern Africa. Her experiences ranged
from meeting one of Africa’s three female presidents to providing grief education to secondary
school students. On May 1, Dr. Clarke shared her
reflections and discussed opportunities for helping
professionals to be trained or serve abroad.
