What is Co-counselling?
Co-counselling is a peer-to-peer framework where people take turns holding space for one another to attend to their emotional struggles. Each participant has equal time to receive and give support using the co-counselling method. In this introductory evening, you will learn more about the method and have opportunities to practice co-counselling skills. This evening is an opportunity to see whether you might like to join us for an upcoming 10-week training course beginning in January.
The training course (20 hours over 10 weeks) is designed for individuals who want to explore and gain skills around emotional literacy. The training provides a safe, supportive environment to learn and practice co-counselling skills. Whether you’re seeking emotional insight for yourself or tools to help others, this hands-on training equips you with the knowledge, techniques, and experience to practice co-counselling effectively. Co-counselling is an accessible, community care model for everyone. This training will deepen participants’ listening skills, mindful communication, and emotional awareness. These skills can be applied in a variety of settings (including, but not limited to, intentional peer-to-peer support sessions).
Is there a cost?
This introductory session is free of charge. The 20-hour training course (to be offered January 8–March 12, 2025) has a fee attached (TBA). Once you have learned the skills and can practice them effectively, practicing co-counselling with others is free for the rest of your life.
