Professional Insights
The Institute’s official eZine hits its 59th Edition with a couple of great articles and a focus on professional development and counsellor self-maintenance.
First… Wendy Mead, one of the Institute’s Senior Education Advisors, explains the importance of counsellor development via supervision, learning, and more.
Then… Carol Moore, Adelaide’s Branch Manager, provides an insight on Burnout, Stress, and strategies to manage both through a counsellor’s career. It’s a personal account, but at the same time, professional and quite unique.
It’s content not to be missed, so check it out.
