“A must for anyone who interacts with human beings!”
This interactive online training aims to develop the knowledge and skills of workers in the human services field sector so that workers may effectively support people who are distressed.
The course is mainly for those who are not trained counsellors and who are not in counselling roles, however frequently find themselves having to use counselling skills due to the nature of their roles.
Participants will be given opportunity to:
-
