Course Content

Learn how school counsellors build healthy relationships through good communication in this free online course. Counselling in schools is a rising field of study. Many children and adolescents need to talk to someone outside their immediate circle of family and friends during periods of mental or physical distress. This course explains these challenges and how to approach them from a counselling perspective. We also show you how to use technology to advise students and families and how to handle children with psychological and behavioural problems.
