One of my students recently told me that I need to help her overcome her resistance to working with the elderly. She is aware of her responsibility to minister to her clients but has not developed a willingness to open her heart to aging adults. As I have talked and listened to others, I realize that there are many who share her view. This may be the result of living in a society that does not value the aged, or it may be an inability to face ones impending entrance into this dimension of life. There is an open field for harvest and an opportunity to minister to those in the final phase of life. Web counselor plays a vital role for the welfare of society.
