Introduction
This Certificate course aims to introduce foundational systemic ideas that would promote an appreciation/ understanding of people, families, support networks and systems, from a relational lens and developmental life cycle perspective.
Trainees will be provided with an in-depth understanding of salient systemic concepts such as general systems theory, circularity, feedback loops, context (inclusive of wider social and cultural discourse), and appreciate how the family functions and organises itself during transitional points, that supports personal autonomy while maintaining togetherness.

Trainees will be engaged in the learning process with lectures, small group discussions led by an experienced team of Therapists from CCC, and experiential exercises.
We are planning for the course to be conducted in our premises. However, in the event that the pandemic worsens and that we are unable to, we will conduct the training online via the zoom platform. We will make these arrangements as soon as there is clarity about what is safe.
