BeginnerCounselling & Crisis
🎯 Objective: Use de-escalation techniques.
Trauma-informed care, active listening, and safety planning. You meet behaviour with curiosity, not punishment — every outburst is a signal.
🧪 Lab: Role-play de-escalation.
✅ Self-check: What does 'trauma-informed' mean in practice?
Group & Community Work
🎯 Objective: Facilitate a group activity.
Program planning, leadership, and evaluation. A good group gives belonging — the antidote to isolation.
🧪 Lab: Plan a group session.
✅ Self-check: Why is evaluation more than 'did they have fun'?
