Editor’s Update
We’ve been working on ways to improve your experience here at Counselling Connection, and some progress has already been made on that front. To keep you in the loop of developments, here are some updates:
Getting to Know the Institute
If you would like to know more about the Diploma of Professional Counselling and the Institute, you can now watch it in three great videos: In the first video, Sandra Poletto, CEO, provides a history of the Institute, discusses courses we offer, and provides an insight into the demand for counselling services. Dr Clive Jones, Education Manager and protagonist of our second video, outlines in detail the structure of the Diploma, how the course is delivered, and its industry application.
Finally, Rob Carrigan (Support Manager) talks about the Institute’s Support Services and the role these services play in helping students make the most of their career options. These videos can be accessed from the Blog’s right-side column, at the ‘Course Information’ link category. For further information about AIPC’s educational programs, you can also download our course prospectuses.
Top Content, Zero Cost
Our latest eBook, AIPC’s Counselling Dilemmas, is now also available for download from this Blog. This 52-page publication showcases 18 professionally-written counselling dilemmas, followed by comments from qualified counsellors, psychologists and mental health professionals. AIPC’s Counselling Dilemmas eBook has been divided into three main categories: Relationship and Family; Ethics, Values and Boundaries; and Situations of Risk.
The eBook is available at our ‘Free Publications’ link category, along with our three previous eBooks and two electronic copies of our quarterly Journal – ‘Professional Counsellor’.
Navigation Matters
We’ve published over 250 posts since early 2007 – and as a result, we have become constantly aware that with all this information, it is sometimes difficult to find specific topics within the Blog. This issue is aggravated when you are looking for post-series where individual posts can be scattered amongst older posts and within different months.
Our new link category, ‘Archives – Post Series’, brings a practical solution to navigation nightmares! This category allows you to directly access the first post of each published series! And there is more to it – each initial post also includes links to all follow-up posts, which makes it simple and easy to read the whole series without having to search page-by-page, post-by-post or month-by-month.
There are currently 16 post-series which can accessed via this express system. This section will continually be updated as we published more posts. Tip: If you are looking for posts which are not from a post-series, you can also use our Search Box or the ‘Archives’ links to find them.
That’ll be it for now. We are continually working to make Counselling Connection an even better learning tool for your personal and professional development. Please leave your comments and suggestions as we’re always considering them in our development schedule.
See you soon!
