ACS Releases New Course- Child Counselling
ACS
Distance Education have recently written and released a new 100 hour course- Child
Counselling.
The Child Counselling course will help
you to learn to be more sensitive to the needs of children, and more capable of
interacting in a positive way with children during counselling.
In order to counsel children
effectively, a therapist needs to understand the types of problems that can
affect children and how they might have evolved.
Like disorders of adulthood, childhood
disorders can, and usually do, have more than one cause. Also, like adults,
these causes may be of genetic or environmental origin. With children though,
we must also consider developmental causes since childhood is a time when
children are continually developing: intellectually, socially, emotionally and,
of course, physically.
This course covers 9 lessons:
1/ Introduction to Types & Causes of Childhood Problems
2/ Assessment of Childhood Problems (including ethical/legal considerations)
3/ Counselling for Internalising Problems & Disorders I: Anxiety
4/ Counselling for Internalising Problems & Disorders II: Depression
5/ Counselling for Externalising Problems & Disorders III: Eating Disorders
6/ Counselling for Externalising Problems & Disorders IV: Conduct Disorders
7/ Counselling for Other Problems & Disorders
8/ Other Counselling Approaches
9/ Problem based learning
Upon completion of this course, you
would be awarded a Statement of Attainment from ACS Distance Education, or you
could add it to a module in one of our qualifications, a Certificate, Diploma
or Associate Diploma.
