Training Opportunities
Professional Training
We aim to provide faithful Christian professionals with the skills and tools to nurture healthy minds and communities. One way we support this is through our ongoing webinars, workshops and programs.
Most of our training sessions require no previous knowledge or experience in mental health, however there will be some programs specifically targeted toward mental health professionals.
Webinars
Webinars allow us the opportunity to present to a broad audience on topics across a range of mental health and spiritual concerns.
Our interdisciplinary approach in all that we do flows into our webinars as well. Through these online presentations, we share new skills and knowledge, and give you the opportunity to engage with our presenters.
We value accessibility, so a number of webinars are free and made available as resources on our website. Others incur a small fee to attend and include a certificate of attendance for your professional development.
Our 2023 webinar program is coming soon.
Workshops
We offer several in-depth workshops each year which focus on gaining a deeper understanding of the various influences which impact mental health and wellbeing through an integrated psychological and theological lens.
Professional development is often either theological or psychological, but our workshops aim to integrate both disciplines.
This integrated approach to mental health topics is designed to deepen your understanding and provide skills for use in the real world.
The half- or full-day workshops are held on campus at the Melbourne School of Theology and include a certificate of attendance for your professional development.
In 2022 we ran two workshops, ‘Christ-Centred Mindfulness’ and ‘Learning and Growing Through Adversity’.
Our 2023 workshop program will be available soon.
