Training Programs - Level I: Basics (24 hours)
In practice, SSLD is often delivered according to pre-planned or packaged programs. These programs target special populations or specific issues (e.g., coaching skills for managers, conflict resolution skills, parenting skills, developing intimacy for couples, assertiveness training for women, life skills training for new immigrants, etc.). The advantages of packaged program include structure, economy, and being easy to learn and master. The Basic Program will introduce basic SSLD practice principles and equip participants with a set of core competencies (listening and engagement, communication, instrumental strategies and skills), preparing them for delivering pre-planned SSLD programs.
