Module overview

Often, the only thing that people experiencing homelessness have in common is that they lack housing. Those who work in homelessness need to have excellent interpersonal skills to effectively engage with such a diverse population with complex needs. Basic counselling skills are the foundation of effective interpersonal skills that allow us to engage with people and build strong therapeutic relationships.
