I lived in Seychelles from January 1995 until November 1997, working with the Ministry of Education to develop a training program for people who would become school counselors. Additionally I worked as the Ministry's link to the Youth Health Center, and provided training for several agencies on domestic violence and alcohol and drug intervention. What a joy to see how these programs have evolved over the past 20 years.
My partner, Dr. Frank Stern, and I visited Seychelles for several days early this month before embarking on a leg of the Queen Elizabeth's around-the-world voyage.
