Presentations, Workshops, and Seminars from SSCCC

Shepherd's Staff Christian Counseling Center

PRESENTATIONS, WORKSHOPS, AND SEMINARS

The following presentations are ones that the professional staff have made before or would be interested in making. Many of the didactic presentations include detailed outlines to assist the audience with note taking and to encourage them to interact with the content being presented and to identify questions. The experiential presentations will require audience participation though no one will be forced to participate in a way that is uncomfortable, that is it is possible to participate as an observer. However no written material will be handed out at these presentations, except for the one on Bible Learning for which guidelines for using this method are available. We would be available to develop new presentations on related topics. The initials of the presenters are listed in parentheses after the title.
