School of Children's Counselling in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane
In-depth teaching on counselling children

 


This specialist five day course is designed to equip children's pastors, care workers, foster parents, school teachers and those in ministry to children. It will show those in Christian Ministry can and must develop a professional approach when dealing with children with deep needs. Children are body, soul and spirit. Christian workers must never forget the spiritual needs of children, but must also not ignore the emotional hurts.

Presented by David Goodwin the course looks at skills and techniques of counselling children in order to equip children's pastors, counsellors, care workers, parents and those in ministry to children.

This course covers major issues related to counselling children who suffer from grief, neglect, abuse and trauma. It encompasses the whole counselling process including: the counselling relationship, listening skills, counselling techniques and bringing counselling to a conclusion.

Particular attention is paid to the role of the Holy Spirit in Counselling and identifying how Jesus engaged with people. See the attached form for details of the closest School of Counselling to you.

Delegates can apply to come to just day one of the course: An Introduction to Counselling - where many of the concepts and ideas will be introduced. The remaining days of the course will cover the subjects and counselling process in detail.

David Goodwin is a counsellor, pastor, author and trainer. He has a Graduate Diploma in Ministry, Diploma in Counselling and a Cert IV In Assessment and Workplace Training.
