 Throughout the world, there are many people who feel overwhelmed by their struggles in life: Marriages and families falling apart, people trapped in cycles of comfort-seeking and rejection; alcohol, drugs, prostitution etc.
Are you looking for Christian counselling training to make a difference? The Introduction, Certificate and Diploma to Community Counselling is an integrative approach to Christian Counselling, designed for those who want to work with broken and hurting communities in the world's inner cities.
Youth with a Mission (YWAM) has been running Christian counselling training in London for 14 years with the aim of providing students with an understanding of God's heart for people. The courses introduce students to a variety of Christian and secular counselling approaches, the specific problems faced by people in urban communities and the necessary counselling skills to provide support in a sensitive, practical and ethical manner.
