Unresolved issued can tear families apart, this course equips counsellors and psychologists to better understand the techniques used in crisis intervention.

There are thousands of counsellors and families who are confronted with clients and /or family members who suffer from a variety of problems for which they are unable or unwilling to bet help. Some of these problems included; alcoholism, drug addictions, gambling, eating disorders, internet and sex addictions as well as other mental health issues.

These are progressive and chronic diseases which, when left untreated will result in personal ruin and at times, premature death. It is important for the sufferer and their loved ones and associates to know that help is available.

Intervention Counselling is a means of addressing a person’s problem directly together with their family and friends and with the support of a professional counsellor or psychotherapist to address the problems.

Intervention Counselling is a sought after skill and is relevant across a broad and diverse range of professions. This is a one day professional development course.

Over 80% of those involved in an intervention process go onto treatment and then have the choice and opportunity to change their lives.

Intervention counselling is the most immediate and an effective way to help people to step out of crisis and into recovery.
