Counseling Skills & Issues Training:
OBJECTIVE: To train lay counselors how to mentor and coach others struggling with life issues. At the completion of this class, participants should understand some basic issues and simple strategies to help others with those particular issues. (Required Book: How to be a People Helper by Gary Collins)
Below you will find a series of videos that have been previously recorded and are used to help facilitate you as a mentor/coach to walk through and guide others as they are struggling with specific issues. You are not a Licensed Professional Counselor after viewing these videos. If you feel the person under counsel needs to seek professional counseling you can have them call our office at the Bridge of Hope Counseling Center at 803-674-4060 or have them visit our website at www.lexingtonbridgeofhope.com.
