The Accidental Counsellor Foundations Workshop will provide you with necessary skills and tools to be able to step into the shoes of an accidental counsellor momentarily, respond appropriately, efficiently and effectively to people in crisis or distress when there may not be a professional immediately available.
In community services work, we may often be the first point of contact for someone in crisis needing immediate assistance. Even without a formal qualification in counselling, this workshop provides the basic skills nd tools to be able to step into the shoes of an accidental counsellor momentarily, to respond appropriately and effectively to people in crisis or distress when there may not be a professional immediately available.
Participants gain a greater understanding of how to communicate more effectively and learn strategies to help foster effective and trusting relationships with clients or peers. The workshop is flexible and interactive, encouraging participants to ask questions, share their experiences, practice skills and engage in self-reflection.
Only 5 registrations will be accepted per organisation for each community Accidental Counsellor Foundations workshop. Please contact us if you would like to arrange a dedicated training event for your organisation.
