Executive Summary:

This is a three-day course with two clear aims: 

1. To teach the principal crisis counseling skills and how they can be applied remotely, by phone, Zoom, Teams, etc.

And to integrate those two skill-sets into a whole that can be taken away and used straight away by the delegates attending.
