CourseCourse Provider: Image
Awarding Body: Open Awards
Applicants for Step by Step training are required to have completed some basic counselling skills training (e.g., image’s 60-hour course in Christian Pregnancy Counselling skills or the equivalent), to have had some experience in pastoral care and to provide a reference from a church or pregnancy centre leader.
Image’s Post-abortion/Child loss course is designed to equip those wanting to facilitate image’s Step by Step Programme with clients (in particular, Christian pregnancy centre workers and others in relevant pastoral or professional roles). The Step by Step programme is for use with clients following abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, child loss or child separation, where the loss is not immediate (i.e. it was at least 3-6 months ago). The training takes trainees on their own journey through the ten steps of the Step by Step Programme.
The training takes trainees on their own journey through the ten steps of the Programme. For this reason, it is recommended that those who have experienced an abortion or child loss of their own go through the Step by Step programme themselves before training to help others.
Please note the referee must be a person that has known you well for the last 3 years. The course is recognised by Open Awards at levels 2 and 3 as a 60-hour course (six unit credits) in image’s counselling skills (Post-abortion and Child Loss) as well as by the Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions, as 60 hours of pastoral care with counselling skills.
