This course will give you new listening and communication techniques and insights into yourself and others. You are encouraged to explore your own beliefs, ethics, and values throughout the 4 modules and consider the impact these have on you and others. As you learn how counselling skills can be effectively used, you will have the opportunity to develop your own skills in triad practice throughout every module.
