The Sexuality and Gender short course provides you with the necessary insights to and sound background to be able to support individuals and couples in their quest for sexual expression and fulfilment, while also learning to appreciate your own sexuality in a safe space as practising minister or pastoral counsellor. The course approaches sexuality and gender issues from the standpoint that sexuality  is an integral  part  of  who we are and how we express life, and specifically focuses on the aspects of gender equality, gender identity and sexual expression. The course takes on a non- discriminatory approach and considers various realities/perspectives.

After completion of this course, leaders should be able support people who have been through sexually related trauma and to discern who might need more professional help.
