Over four hours, the Accidental Counsellor workshop provides basic skills and a structure to enable you to provide immediate support and assistance using the Recognise, Respond, Refer model.
The skills learned in the course, such as active listening, asking open-ended questions and reflecting feelings, can be applied in many contexts, both personally and professionally. You will also learn how to ask openly about suicide, and respond safely whatever the answer.
Our most in-demand training, the course is open to everyone, and no pre-existing skills or knowledge are required. We can also tailor the course to suit your organisation.
The cost of the course is $150 per person. (Note: reduced rates may be offered to individuals experiencing financial hardship; please contact us directly.)
