Dear colleague,

On behalf of Rosalie and myself, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the WellconnectedTraining 2013professional development program:
Core Concepts in Couple Counselling.

This program:
Is an innovative way of presenting the core concepts or common factors in couple counselling, that is suitable both to beginners as well as more experienced and advanced practitioners.   

While reference is made to emotionally focused, solution focused and narrative approaches, the focus is on the core common factors that assist couples.  Central to these factors is the development of understanding and acceptance in the couple relationship, including re-connecting to and confirming positive aspects of self and other, and the re-establishment and development of core relationship values and virtues. 

The course includes theory presentation, role play demonstrations, group discussion, DVD examples, powerpoint handouts and key articles.


The dates and topics for this program, and details on the venue, are listed on WellConnectedTraining website:
Certificates:
You are welcome to just attend our program, which you can count towards your continuing professional development requirements.
If however you wish to receive a course certificate, certifying your hours attended and additional time spent on the course, it is a requirement that you post a 200-30 word reflection on the course blog after each of the eight sessions.
Most people chose to do this, not just for the certification, but also because the course members find others’ reflections one of the most valuable parts of the course.  Feel free to comment on others’ contributions, if only to thank them for sharing their thoughts.


Course blog:
The course blog also contains links to pre-reading, and other references and visual information relevant to the course sessions.
For each session we select one article or reference that we think is especially relevant to the session topic.

How to get onto the blog:
Together with this email, you will receive an invitation to the first session blog.  It will look like this:
