STUDENT WELBEING TEACHING METHOD
EDU4SWM
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In the Student Wellbeing teaching method students develop a range of skills which they will require when working in a counselling and welfare role with school students. The theoretical framework for this subject is drawn from humanistic-existential psychology, particularly the person-centred approach. While attention will be given to training in core counselling skills, a major focus will be on the development of an effective approach to counselling through reflection on the students' own practice in formal and informal counselling interactions.
