This is a practical training resource for use by trainers running any type of counselling skills workshop. Divided into two parts, Part 1 of the book provides all the information a trainer will need to run the activities in Part 2. The manual explains: when counselling skills training is appropriate and what it consists of; how to set up and manage counselling skills workshops; how to evaluate the success of the workshop; the importance of the process of experiential learning (learning by doing); and how to make the best use of the activities included. It provides useful checklists for trainers' use. Part 2 comprises a total of 80 activities, grouped together in 8 different sections which cover a wide range of counselling skills - listening skills, empathy building, information and advice giving, facilitation, problem solving, coping with feelings, evaluating and counsellor development skills. Each activity is presented in a standard format and includes: instructions for setting up the activity; aims of the activity; timing requirements and number of participants needed; environment/equipment needed; evaluation procedures; and closing the activity.
