We offer training in partnership with the Manda Institute for Counseling Services, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) company. It provides international courses that are skills-based. The purpose is to enhance your skills, knowledge, and attitude to offer mental health and spiritual counseling in a professional way. These courses are sometimes custom-made meaning they are designed to meet the needs of a particular group of participants. They can be offered on campus in the USA, on site if you have a group of participants, or online. For international course participants, we will provide you with an acceptance letter to apply for travel visa to the USA.
All the short courses are offered over a period of 2 weeks. Classes start from Monday to Friday 9am-3pm Time Zone: EST. Weekends are left for site-seeing and educational tours.
The course seeks to equip chaplains, ministers of religion, social workers, mental health professionals, college students and lecturers, and frontline workers, etc. to understand Pastoral Counseling as a field of practice, and as a resource to use when assisting clients who are experiencing spiritual distress, existential distress, and various crises of life.
Pastoral Counselling is an approach to mental health care that draws on the wisdom of psychology and the behavioral sciences alongside spirituality/religion/theology. It is a more specialized part of pastoral care that involves helping individuals, families, or groups as they cope with the pressures and crises of life. It uses a variety of healing methods to help people deal with problems in ways that are consistent with biblical teaching, or their pathways to the holy.
This course is designed for lay and professional mental health and spiritual care providers, frontline workers, and all interested participants. It seeks to equip participants with skills, knowledge, and attitude to facilitate a counseling session in such a way that clients feel understood, can talk about their problems, and help them explore ways to live more effectively.
The course participant will learn communication skills, counseling principles, and skills that will enable them to be more effective in helping clients achieve their preferred solutions to their problems. Based on the Skilled-Helper Model developed by Gerald Egan, the course introduces you to the most effective problem-solving and management approach.
The program seeks to equip educators, teachers, school governing bodies, learners in schools or learning environments, parents, and frontline workers to be trauma-informed and competent. Learners are exposed to violence, bullying, and other forms of traumatic experiences on a daily basis. Trauma-informed and competent educators or parents will not only have the responsibility to prevent trauma, but also enhance the process of recovery and healing for learners after a traumatic experience. This will lead to a widespread positive effect on learners’ academic outcomes and relationships with peers, teachers, and other support systems.
As a continuing professional development course, Advanced Trauma Counseling enhances the skills and professional knowledge of specialists in the traumatic stress field, counselors, social workers, medical staff, educators, chaplains, frontline workers, and practitioners who work with individuals and communities that have been exposed to traumatic situations.
Using the holistic narrative model of trauma care developed by Dr. Manda in his book: Re-authoring life narratives after trauma: A holistic narrative model of care, participants learn post-traumatic stress, impact of trauma on spirit, soul, and body; holistic assessment and treatment of trauma survivors; and self-care skills in ongoing trauma intervention work.
