Bereavement Counselling Skills Training Course
September 23rd – December 9th 2006, 10 Wednesdays (6.30-9.30pm) and 5 Saturdays (9.30-4.15pm) at St Peter’s Church, Saltaire, Shipley.
This course, organised by Bradford Bereavement Support (BBS), is intended for people with an interest in counselling and in working with bereaved clients. Applicants, aged over 25, will need to have completed a 30 hour basic counselling skills course or be able to demonstrate training or experience at an equivalent level.
The course is particularly aimed at applicants who are willing to become voluntary bereavement counsellors with BBS. However some places will be available for applicants who would find bereavement counselling skills useful in their work place or in another voluntary organisation.
Applications would be welcome from people able to work in a language other than English. BBS is receiving an increasing number of requests for bereavement counselling in other languages, particularly from the Asian community.
Selection for the course will be by application form and informal interview. The interviews will be held in the summer. Two references will be required.
About BBS BBS aims to provide high quality counselling and support for people in the Bradford area who have been bereaved. We aim to offer everyone equal access to our service irrespective of age, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, disability or culture.
Established in 1984 by a group of concerned volunteers, Bradford bereavement Support has developed a team of experienced voluntary counsellors who offer individual bereavement counselling. Counsellors are carefully selected and assessed. They receive continuing training and regular supervision by qualified professional counsellors.
The organisation is non-profit making, has a voluntary management committee and is entirely dependant upon a range of grants and donations.
