In our society today, faith-based organizations are usually the first point of contact when people have any form of issue, whether financial, emotional, sex, relationship, or otherwise. These organizations play very important roles, but it will be better if the roles are being played professionally. A spiritual leader without the proper counseling skills might have good intentions but could be doing more damage than envisaged. In order for faith-based organizations to do things the right way, The Institute has designed programs that will help them in providing faith-based counseling combined with clinical counseling skills. If your religious organization is interested in any of our programs, kindly fill out the form below.
Training For Church Counselors
We organize periodic training for Churches that wish to apply for Pastoral counseling professionally. The importance of getting it right in the area of counseling as a crucial tool that the church requires to correct the ills in the society cannot be overemphasized, and applying the proper professional skills and counseling ethics to Pastoral Counseling is not contestable. The essence of this training is to orientate and brief participants about the need to incorporate professional pastoral counseling into church activities and ensure that a given number of church heads/workers possess the basic skill of counseling.
Counseling the right way will:
- Increase the confidence of the members in the skills and professionalism of the counselors.
- Ensures that members don't seek wrong counsel outside the church.
- Improve the counseling competencies of counselors/workers in the area of pastoral counseling.
- Ensures that counseling produces the desired result and thereby a happy and more productive congregation.
- Could even be a means of creating employment for the church for members. etc.
