These specialised courses are for people wanting to enhance their skills in the delivery of supportive services to women experiencing challenges during pregnancy, including unintended pregnancy, and social and health related stressors. Our training also extends to support for women and men during the early parenting period.
Our foundation training is Interpersonal Skills and is suitable for people taking a supportive role in a wide range of settings, not limited to family support. The framework of communication and values exploration skills developed through this short course forms the foundation on which other course content is built and will enhance not only your professional competency but your day to day relationships as well.

This
foundation course is intended for any person working in family support
who may have contact with clients, including administration staff. It
provides essential effective communication skills to enhance both your professional and personal interpersonal skills. In
order to be an effective support to another person you don't need to
know everything about everything. What is essential is to learn the
limits of your knowledge, where to find the things you don't know, and
to really listen effectively to the others' experiences. As a support
person you are not meant to 'fix' other people's problems, or even
provide advice for every issue that crops up for them. Your role is to
help them find their own best solutions while supported by someone they
trust.
The
skills you will learn in developing effective communication are
designed to enhance your every day life and will be valuable for using
in your relationships and your workplaces. You are encouraged to
practise these new ways of communicating and reflecting on your values
and beliefs at every opportunity, not just when you are engaged in
study. You'll be surprised at what a positive differences even small
changes in communication can make.
