Counselling CPD

Experiences of abuse can have a lasting impact on a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem, ability to make decisions, and trust in others, as well as generating symptoms of depression, high anxiety, complex trauma, and thoughts of suicide. This can severely impact on a person’s ability to seek support. This course will explore the main psychological theories of domestic abuse, how abuse happens, why and how this affects an individual’s mental health, and what can be done to positively support the person’s mental health recovery.

Please note the concession is only available to the following: YSJ Counselling students and YSJ Communities Centre placement students - there will be a cap of 3 concession places available for each date that the course runs.
