Mental Health

Working with Adolescents (Micro-Credential)

Offered by Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC)

In this micro-credential you’ll learn effective ways to work with teens as they transition through this dynamic period of their lives. You’ll learn how to help them navigate social media and online communities; peer pressure and bullying; use of alcohol and drugs; risky behaviours; romantic relationships, trauma, and more. You’ll also learn to use the public health model when using a harm minimisation approach in these areas.

This course will focus on working with adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19, in particular, how to assist them and create strong working relationships.

The course is divided into four parts:

  • Getting to know your client
  • Freedom, AOD and romantic relationships
  • Mental health, self-harm and suicidal clients
  • Trauma
