We’ve been a bit busy over here launching our new Certificate programs! Certificates at The Seattle School are aimed at professional development and for people who are unable to join us for one of our Master degrees.
Leadership in the New Parish at The Seattle School
The Leadership in the New Parish Certificate is an innovative program helping pastors see the church grounded in place. The certificate is a yearlong program aimed at training pastors and ministry leaders to see the church community and its particular location as intrinsically linked to each other for their mutual benefit. The common model of church is to separate the outreach from communal worship; the Leadership in the New Parish Certificate will train leaders to help their church experience worship within their neighborhood.
The yearlong program begins in the fall of 2012. Apply today for the Leadership in the New Parish Certificate!
The Lay Leader Certificate at The Allender Center
The Lay Leader Certificate is designed to provide you with a fundamental understanding of the Allender methodology. It will identify the complex issues of personal story, and will explore how to more effectively engage these issues through a narrative framework within relationships. You will learn directly from Dr. Allender in the classroom through teaching and by watching him conduct therapy. You will also receive personal mentoring from The Allender Center teaching staff in small group settings that are catered to your specific skill level and realm of work.
The yearlong program begins in the fall of 2012. Apply today for the Lay Leader Certificate!
The Advanced Counseling Certificate at The Allender Center
The Advanced Counseling Certificate provides an invaluable addendum to a master’s degree utilizing Dr. Allender’s theory for working with abuse victims in individual, couple, family, and church community contexts. Dr. Allender’s trauma-focused narrative therapy trains therapists to continue their personal integrative and self-discovery process in order to become a more effective clinician. In this year long program, you will learn Dr. Allender’s counseling theory while concurrently engaging in the personal growth necessary to gain a greater understanding of how to care for your clients.
The yearlong program begins in the fall of 2012. Apply today for the Advanced Counseling Certificate!
