Counseling Insights EPUB

As helpers, caregivers, and counsellors, there are times when we need support to be able to help the people we are working with.

Hearing from others in similar roles is a key way of finding inspiration and guidance.This book offers practical strategies for supporting people of all ages who have a variety of issues, whether psychological (anxiety, trauma, depression), based on life circumstances (loss and grief, oppressive societal attitudes), or due to harmful ways of coping with these or other life stressors (self-injury, substance use, suicidality).Each chapter begins with an examination of a different psychological issue or situation.

Case examples of both youth and adults are included for each topic to illustrate both the impact of the issue and the helping process.

Authors share insights they have gained from research, counselling experiences, and the unique wisdom of the people they have encountered.This book is written not only for clinical counsellors, but also for the multitude of frontline helpers who work to support those seeking help and guidance.

It is a resource for anyone who identifies as a care provider, including those in the social service, health, education, spiritual care, and social work roles.
