The training programme was organized with the idea to have better in depth knowledge on various socio-economic issues faced by the church and also by the infected and affected people by PLHAs. One of the findings in the process of the training was the need of right and consistent education/information to be imparted to all the section of group of people so that the general public are made aware.
This ToT seriously signal the start of complete involvement of the churches in addressing the issue for extending the psycho-social support to those who are in need. Since Nagaland is composed of different tribes, this ToT was initiated to train different tribal key church leaders who could in turn disseminate the information in their own respective association/churches up to the village level without facing any communication problems.
Handouts and other materials were also widely distributed to all the participants for their reference in the field of work.
