Members Forum: Newly Qualified Counsellors
Kathy Spooner will facilitate this forum as we offer a warm welcome to members who are newly qualified counsellors. It would be wonderful if as many members as possible could join us for this forum to give these newly qualified members a sense of ACC and the support members can offer one another. It will be an opportunity to discover more about the organisation, ask questions and glean from the wealth of experience from within our membership.
This event is for members only and is free to attend but you must register your place by Noon, Monday 25th November 2024.
This forum is not just for newly qualified counsellors. If you have been in practice for some time then please do join us to share your knowledge and experience with those who are beginning their counselling career.
Guidelines for Good Practice in Pastoral Care
Workshop aim: To enable individuals, churches and Christian organisations involved in the ministry of pastoral care, to develop their understanding and application of good practice, so that it can be offered safely, effectively and with integrity.
Caring for Ourselves
Caring for Ourselves is a 2-session short course, each of 2-hour duration. The course aims to consider the nature of our pastoral care role, recognise that whilst a privilege it can be challenging at times, and look at possible ways that we can care for ourselves to enable longevity in our role of caring for others.
