Workshops
We have a lots of great workshops for both counselors and spouses this year. If you need more information about a workshop please feel free to Contact Us.
Our workshops are broken into three categories: Crafts, Leadership & Mentoring and Skills. In the past if you have mostly stuck to the craft workshops this is a great time to branch out. Challenge yourself, try to pick one workshop from each category!

A Word From The Wise with Dick Broene
There's an old proverb that "a word to the wise is sufficient", but not many people are wise enough to think through what it means. Conference 26 will bring us some words from the wise. These words are old proverbs too, but they're not outdated. They're Proverbs from the Bible. This workshop will explore how to use the book of Proverbs for training...in the light of God.
Diffusing Explosive Emotions - Non Physical Responses To Disruptive And Violent Individuals" with Richard Lubbers
This is a workshop that will teach and equip its participants with proven techniques for talking people out of an agitated emotional state as well as techniques to guide individuals into a behaviour path that you wish to take them but they do not want to go. It will also teach the legal boundries of what you can and cannot do as a volunteer working with youth. Most of the information comes from a course taken called"Non-Violent Crisis Prevention and Intervention" offered by the Crisis Prevention Institute based in Pennsylvania.
MENTORING LEADERSHIP with Pastor Ron Noorman
We will be learning how to lead even as others learn how to follow by leading. I Cor1:1 "Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ". A mentor must be a person who as a prayer warrior is not afraid to advise, teach, coach, shadow and be shadowed and be an example of Godliness to others.
