Human Givens College update
The development of an autumn programme is also well underway and will be announced shortly. It will initially consist of a variety of weekend courses on key subjects (such as addiction, depression, treating trauma, anxiety disorders, brief therapy skills, psychosis, storytelling and the use of metaphor), as well as some new titles.
The college will continue to teach the Human Givens Diploma course, and dates for a two-week course next year will be announced in the near future.
Part I of the Diploma is likely to take a slightly different format to previously, but MindFields seminars and workshops will still count towards it in the form of accredited prior learning (APL).
