LEARNING HOW TO LISTEN

Course improves
communication

SKILLED HELPING is a course for anyone interested in improving
communication and helping skills.

This six-session introductory course is designed for volunteers, staff
and individuals wanting to build active listening and communication
skills for one-to-one relationships.

Shirley Lytle, a North Shore teacher and experienced trainer, will
facilitate the course. She describes the content as ‘learning whit com-
munication is all about.°’ She adds that participants will learn ‘thow to
listen,”’ develop self-awareness techniques and what she calls the ‘lan-
guage of feelings.”

The grieving process will also be examined — not just in cases of
bereavement but the grief for loss of a job, retirement or as the victim of
crime.

Skilled Helping begins on Wednesday, Jan. 20 at Carson Graham Sec-
ondary School from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Pre-registration, by calling 985-8741, is encouraged as the class size is
limited for more effective learning. Fee for the six weeks is $30 or $25
each if two or more from one organization are registered by their
organization.

The course is co-sponsored by North Shore Continuing Education and
the North Shore Information and Volunteer Centre, a United Way
member agency. Cail 985-7138 for more information.
