This known domestic violence is not an isolated case, it's happening in the eyes of the communities, parents, leaders, churches, and everyone, yet we see nothing is happening in our communities. When there is continuous violence, it’s an indication of risk so, through the counselling sessions, lives can be saved. 

The victims themselves are also not taking proactive steps seeking support that can save their lives. They are living, sleeping and walking on flames of fire yet, they ignore it. 

Recognizing significant mental health needs in Papua New Guinea, we have established the Healthy Living Business- Counselling Works unit to provide counselling support.
