ASEAN COUNSELING NETWORK (ASCON) SUMMIT 2026

Counselling provision across ASEAN is uneven: limited workforce capacity and supervision, inconsistent accreditation, variable reach to youth, rural and marginalised groups, and digital counselling practices.

This summit focuses on sharing practical models and building practitioner networks.
