Gousous gave a word on the importance of the Women's Program past, present
and future, followed by a lecture given by Dr. Mary Khoury, a renowned
counselor and professor on stress and how to combat it. It was followed by a
talk by Fr. Raymond Abdo, a Carmelite monk who dealt with the topic from a
spiritual perspective. At the end, Mrs. Mona Khoury gave a personal
