General Information
This one-day course looks at effective methods that can be applied by staff
working with people who need support and counselling. It is designed to help
those staff to develop basic skills to enable them to recognise when their
client needs professional counselling and how to support that client when
professional counselling is not appropriate.
A range of training methods will be used in delivering the course content.
This will assist in ensuring effective input of course material. Participants
will be encouraged to take an active part in each session.
