Our Courses
Our certificate courses provide our students with knowledge and skills both in counselling, therapy, or coaching. And this enables professionals, clergy or caregivers, to deepen their understanding and expertise in dealing with various issues relating to sexual addiction, mental health in pastoral counselling, family and adolescent sexuality therapies. This equally provides them with an excellent opportunity for them to enhance their skills, improved on their performances, and equally boost their confidences as well. Below are the various certification courses that we offer:
Sexual-health and Addiction Rehabilitation Counselling (SARC)
Who can take this course?
Sexual health and addiction rehabilitation counselling courses are extremely important for several reasons. Firstly, they equip counsellors with the necessary skills to address the complex issues surrounding sexual health and addiction. In sub-Sahara African regions for instance, where HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are prevalent, counsellors who have undertaken such courses can provide vital support and guidance to individuals struggling with these issues.
Additionally, addiction rehabilitation counselling is crucial in helping individuals overcome addiction, which is a significant problem in many societies. By understanding the underlying causes of addiction and developing strategies for recovery, counsellors can make a positive impact on people’s lives.
A course in sexual health and addiction rehabilitation counselling also emphasizes the importance of a non-judgmental and empathetic approach, which is essential in creating a safe and supportive environment for clients. Furthermore, such a course can help counsellors develop a comprehensive understanding of the interconnectedness of sexual health and addiction, enabling them to provide holistic support to their clients.
Mental-health in pastoral Counselling
Who can take this course?
Pastoral counselling plays a vital role in addressing emotional and mental health needs within faith communities. Training in mental health for pastors and religious leaders is not only necessary but imperative for effective ministry. Many clergy members often find themselves in a position where they must counsel parishioners experiencing mental health challenges.
Hence, Mental-Health in Pastoral Counselling acknowledges the crucial role that faith and spirituality play in the lives of many individuals, and how pastoral counsellors can provide a unique form of support that integrates spiritual and mental health considerations. In Africa for instance where religion is an integral part of many people’s lives, a course that focuses on mental health in pastoral counselling can help counsellors address the specific needs of their clients in a culturally sensitive and appropriate manner. This off course, does not negate the relevance of the ethical framework that regulates the activities of counselling in its traditional context. Howbeit, by exploring the intersection of mental health and faith, mental-health in pastoral counsellors can develop a deeper understanding of how to support individuals who may be struggling with mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, while also taking into account their spiritual beliefs and values.
A Family and Adolescent Sexuality Therapy
Who can take this course?
As the dynamics of family and adolescent relationships evolve, so do the complexities surrounding sexuality. Training programs focusing on family and adolescent sexuality therapy are critical for equipping school counsellors, youth leaders, and family therapists with knowledge about healthy sexual development, communication strategies, and ethical considerations in discussing sexuality.
thus, by exploring the intersection of family dynamics, adolescent development, and sexuality, counsellors can develop a deeper understanding of how to support families and adolescents who may be struggling with issues such as:
* Sexuality identity and expression
* Sexual orientation and gender identity
* Sexual behaviour and risk-taking
* Sexual abuse and trauma
*Communication and intimacy within families
