Life & Counselling Skills School - 2 week or 20 evening school.
This unique Two Week School teaches basic competency in Pastoral Therapy and some advanced psychological skills to anyone with a desire to improve their own life and help heal the lives of their family and friends. It also provides helping/counselling skills for the wider community. Developed by David Riddell, it has been described affectionately as a ‘check-up from the neck-up’ and ‘uncommonly common sense’; it has been widely attended by more than 3,000 students from all walks of life since 1992. Paul and Lynette present this school and have a great interest in the ongoing equipping of people for the profound and difficult challenges that life and family bring.
Overview:
This course introduces you to the basic Living Wisdom methodology, mental/emotional health in the context of Christianity, counselling/pastoral care skills, psychological awareness, marriage/relational/sexual issues, theological insights, and life skills. This is a level 1 course that comes with a certificate – the course can be done again at ‘level 2’ with the founder of Living Wisdom, David Riddell.
Two Week Course:
Lectures run 9 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, for the full two weeks, with about an hour for lunch (bring your own, tea/coffee supplied). Assignments are given each day which students complete at home. Each class begins with a brief time of sharing and monitoring progress, and students are expected to set their own pace in regard to their selected reading.
20 evening Course:
Alternatively the course can be run over 20 weeks (one evening a week) running from 7:00pm to 9:30 pm.
Fees:
The full fee for the 2 week course of $750-00. This covers Tuition, Texts, and one professional Counselling Session. A $100 non-refundable deposit will secure a place in any School, with the remaining fees due first day of the Course (unless otherwise negotiated). Many students are sponsored in part or full by their Churches and families, as that is where many benefits will accumulate.
