In your daily work, you may regularly come into contact with colleagues, parents, children, carers and families, all who have different needs and expectations.  While you are not a formally trained counsellor, you may often find yourself in situations where you need to respond to a colleague, a client or a parent’s distress, concerns or strong emotions. During these extraordinarily challenging times, you may be aware of an increasing level of stress and angst throughout all of our communities. How can you make a positive difference to those in need?

‘On the Run (Accidental) Counselling©’ is designed to provide you with an overview of the basic skills and confidence needed to respond to more confidently during these times.

 REGISTER NOW! PLACES ARE STRICTLY LIMITED TO ENSURE THAT YOU EXPERIENCE A HIGH LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT AND INTERACTIVITY.

 Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the roles and responsibilities of the Accidental Counsellor;
• Explore appropriate responses to clients who are distressed, and
• Build on communication and response skills.
