Humans are surrounded by pressure that emanates from our daily hustles and bustle of life. This makes our relationship with self, friends, spouses, relatives and environment we interact with, create conflicts that affect the self, others and performance at work and home.

Guidance and Counseling therefor play very vital role in facilitating health lifestyles through self-understanding (interest, abilities, values, attitude, etc.) and one’s interaction with the environment (school, lecturers, courses/programmers, and friends, to mention few). A balance of these variables determine one’s performance in achieving very seasoned and promising career goals.
