Hope Basic Training, Class 2 Outline
William
Gaultiere, Ph.D.
Executive
Director of the New Hope Crisis Counseling Center
Dr. Bill presents
the process and basic techniques of how we respond to counseling
needs. You might think that to be Christ’s Ambassador you
need to give Biblical advice or reassure people that God will
take care of them. But neither are what we do! We
don’t try to fix people; we care for them, showing them the care
that we’ve received from God and the Body of Christ. We
like to say, “New Hope Counseling is as easy as A-B-C” because
anyone with a caring heart can do this. The most important
criteria is already in place: You volunteered to care for hurting
people in Jesus’ name. (As Pastor Jim Kok says, “90% of helping
is just showing up!”) This class teaches you how to put
this caring into practice. This is how friends and family
ought to (but usually don’t!) respond to one another’s problems.
You can learn these basic skills! You must
learn these techniques! Later, your New Hope Mentor will
show you how to use these A-B-C’s of New Hope Counseling
in live role plays.
