Commencing in March 2012, the William Street Family Therapy Centre (WSFTC) will conduct a Certificate IV Course in Relationship Education. The course will consist of 3 days "face-to-face" training and then 12 weeks of online and Skype lessons. Those attending this course will receive excellent training in the field of Relationship Education. The WSFTC training:

• Focuses on providing practical hands-on skills delivered by experienced professionals working in relationship counselling, education, therapy and social work
• Has 24 years proven success in training social workers, psychologists, relationship educators, counsellors and psychotherapists valued by professional organisations, Universities, employers in Government, non-government organisations and the private sector

Aims of the Certificate IV in Relationship Education Training Course

The Certificate IV in Relationship Education includes both theoretical and practical training, in order to work as Relationship Educators, Group Workers, Family Support Workers, Youth Workers, and in other areas of Health & Welfare.

The Course is aimed at anyone who is currently working with, or wanting to work with men, women, couples, parents, young people, children, families and groups. In addition, successful completion of this course will allow access to University undergraduate degree courses in the Health and Welfare fields.

This course trains participants for roles in non-therapeutic supports, such as providing education and skills training to individuals, groups, couples, and families. The training will develop the necessary skills in trainees so they can help people learn how to enhance their relationships with intimate partners, spouses, parents, children, siblings, colleagues or friend.

Trainees are up-skilled to support clients facing issues such as separation and mental health, alcohol and other drugs issues. The training program deals with issues across the life cycle to support highly diverse clients, especially in relation to cultural backgrounds and diverse family structures.

Trainees are trained to deliver existing programs and to develop new community education and community development programs. Whilst this is not a counselling role, the training is aimed at providing participants with effective communication skills, conflict management, program development, program delivery and review skills. Course participants are trained in group facilitation and psycho-education.

Additionally, the William Street Family Therapy Centre can provide support to participants who seek a greater depth of skills and knowledge to work with specific client groups. Training is provided for a wide range of service providers within the health, human services and education sectors. Workers in these roles may work with limited supervision and utilise elements of counselling/dispute resolution skills and knowledge, incidentally, when working with families. However, the primary function of the course does not involve clinical or therapeutic higher level knowledge or skills application.
