Do people at work come to you for help?

Are you a supervisor at work and required to give direction?

Do people at church ask you for help?

Do you have a heart for helping people?

Do people come to you for a listening ear?

Then you are doing the work of a Paraclete!

A Paraclete is a person who has been trained in listening skills, empathy, and can systematically help people solve their problems, whatever those problems may be.

Paraclete training, led by Toni Horvath, L.M.F.T. includes:

• • Attending and listening skills
• • Empathy and probing skills
• • Helping people to tell their story
• • Helping people to gain leverage and clarity
• • Challenging people to gain a new perspective
• • Learning the skill of challenging
• • How to create new scenarios and set goals
• • Helping people develop strategies for action and to implement them

After the training you will have the privilege to come along side someone to help them work out life problems they are facing. A new training class begins this fall.
