Course overview

A dysfunctional family is defined as one that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment. Through its maladaptive behaviours, this family develops a set of restrictions that inhibit the social and emotional growth of its members. The healthy family, on the other hand, provides safety and nurturing for its members and assists them in their development by setting firm but reasonable limits. An invaluable course for any counsellor interested in this field.
