HE AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF Family Counselling (AIFC) is planted firmly on the Rock of Jesus Christ. Psychology which has traditionally been controversial in the church has been thoroughly tested by Dr Bruce and Nellie Litchfield and they have included in AIFC’s courses only that which honours God. Bruce and Nellie liken it to “...plundering the Egyptians...” (Exodus 12:35-36). Mission and vision AIFC’s mission puts counselling in the broadest Biblical context of equipping families to heal the nations and its vision as restoring, training, mobilising and multiplying family therapists to serve God for the healing and enrichment of the family in Australia and the nations of the world.
AIFC now offers nationally accredited Certificate IV in Christian Counselling and the Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Counselling and Family Therapy (Christian) in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney (in English and Korean) and Townsville. It also offers distance and overseas student programs. Student values and coping mechanisms Our advice to applicants, students and staff alike is to pray and seek God’s will for their lives, be obedient, depend on and give God the glory. Frequently we find that enquirers are struggling with the decision of whether to enrol with a secular or Christian institute and the associated concern of relative value
