The ages c< of the counselors ranged from 16 to was 27. When selecting counselors tl >un- Vincent and Reeder looked for p was persons that had a "carine at- o _ - - w ach titude." ti at- "The counselors were trained in v iuld listening skills and sex education u for because they would be dealing with is rth people who needed someone to talk J em to and because most of the people or that came into the clinic were f< confused about sex," said Reeder tie, in a manual published on c >int Deliverance House. a of on, THE RESPONSES to the clinic p ind were good.
