INTRODUCTORY COURSE
INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIAN CARE AND COUNSELLING
Short course
“As a Christian, having God at the core of what I do helps to ground me, provides me with a reason for what I am doing and how I relate to others. The course covered many difficult subjects but bringing the relationship that we as humans have with God gave an understanding of human nature that I don’t think other courses will have”
