Description

Counseling ` is a ‘professional’ relationship between a trained counselor and a client. The two forms include person-to-person and group therapy. Counseling is not giving advice, nor arguing with the client; it is not interrogative interviewing, nor imposing one’s own views.When speaking to children, use language that is appropriate for their age to facilitate both information sharing and emotional expression. Effective communication can be achieved through listening with your eyes, ears, and heart.This course is divided into two (2) modules that cover the fundamentals of communication, effective communication with kids, and the causes and effects of communication barriers.
