STAGE 2 - BASIC YOUTH & COMMUNITY COUNSELLING

This training programme combines Stage 1 Personal Development and Stage 2 Basic Youth & Community Counselling skills in one course, enabling participants to fast track their development towards becoming a volunteer counsellor. This course runs for 8 weekly Saturday sessions from 10 am - 4 pm.

STAGE 3 - MARAE NOHO WEEKEND This is residential programme which takes place once a year at Te Puea Marae in Mangere and is an essential part of Youthline training. It focuses on our development of Youthline in Aotearoa within a bicultural context.

STAGE 4 - TRANSITION TRAINING The focus is on continuing personal and skill development in order to move forward to becoming a Solo Helpline Counsellor, connecting with young people in the Youthline ‘Hub’ where we take calls, texts and emails from young people and members of the community. Transition groups start out weekly and then become fortnightly after 7 sessions.

Introduction to group dynamics The focus of the group is experiential. The group aims to give members practical training and experience in the facilitation of groups. Participants receive tutoring on theories of groups and receive experiential training (including opportunities to facilitate the group themselves).

Participants will need to be willing to extend themselves and to take initiative in taking leadership roles. This is a challenging opportunity to reflect and experience the wonders of groups, their potential and their possibilities.

On Sunday 30 October, come support your friends, family, colleagues and the rest of our team who’ve signed up to run the ASB Auckland Marathon and raise valuable funds this year.
