Course Structure & Section Descriptions
Explore what you’ll be learning throughout each different section of the training course
During the training we explore the importance of empathy in establishing a connection with the person being helped. By understanding and validating their emotions and experiences, helpers can foster trust and rapport. For example, when someone shares their struggles, a skilled helper would listen and respond empathetically without judgment.
During the training we explore the significance of active listening, which involves fully engaging in the conversation, asking open-ended questions, and providing verbal and non-verbal feedback to show that we understand the other person. This helps to create a supportive environment for the person seeking help to express themselves freely.
In the Skilled helper book, Gerard Egan encourages aspiring helpers to develop self-awareness, recognize their own biases, regulate their own emotions, understand human values, as well as comprehend how these factors influence the helping process. This can help prevent imposing personal beliefs onto the person being helped.
The Skilled Helper model places great importance on the establishment of SMART goals - specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. These goals serve as the foundation for progress and success. For example, when assisting someone with stress management, a skilled helper would offer guidance in defining clear and attainable objectives.
Problem-solving techniques are vital for assisting others in recognizing and conquering their obstacles. According to Egan, numerous approaches can be utilised, including brainstorming potential solutions and developing action plans. These strategies empower individuals to proactively address challenges and make well-informed decisions.
Throughout the training, we emphasise the value of asking open-ended questions that encourage deeper exploration and reflection. These types of questions enable the person being helped to gain new insights and perspectives on their situation, and typically, will also point the person being helped in the direction of finding their own answers.
The course instructor underscores the significance of leveraging the strengths and resources inherent in individuals seeking assistance. This approach cultivates resilience, self-assurance, and a feeling of empowerment, as it directs their attention towards their existing abilities and untapped potential, rather than fixating on their limitations.
The Skilled Helper model promotes a collaborative approach to helping. In this model, the helper and the person seeking assistance form a partnership, working together to address challenges and achieve desired outcomes. By fostering shared responsibility, both parties engage in setting goals, making informed decisions, and evaluating progress.
The Skilled Helper underscores the significance of valuing an individual's autonomy and upholding their right to make decisions. A skilled helper assumes the role of a guide, offering support and encouragement without imposing solutions or asserting control. This approach fosters self-determination and empowers individuals to take charge of their own lives.
