Ms. Rosalie Lindo, Social Welfare Officer III from the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) Bislig City, reinforces the objective of the activity by emphasizing its significance to CADAC members, who have been equipped with knowledge and skills in dealing with PWUDs and conducting aftercare sessions.

“Aside from fully delivering the training modules, the training team was able to manage time well with opportunities to ask questions and talk about real experiences in dealing with PWUDs,” Lindo added.
