Course Overview

Have you ever wanted to work in an area that allows you to help and support young children? Have you ever felt a passion for showing care to young people, and making a lasting impact in their life? Maybe this even resonates with your own children?

There is a significant spread of diagnosed conditions in young people today more than ever. Understanding the way young people think and behave and managing these different conditions is an essential skill directly relevant for many industries. This course will teach you to be sensitive to the needs of children and educate you on interacting in a positive way with children during therapy and also outside of sessions.

You will learn different approaches for helping children by internalising and externalising problems. The course has been constructed to give you the skills and knowledge to guide our leaders of tomorrow towards a happy and rewarding life. We start from the basics in counselling children and assessing their common psychological problem, followed by diving into a variety of disorders that are common today. This course then moves on to various mental health problems that children and adolescents commonly experience in current society.
