Personal Development. An eight week course compiled by Dr. Tony Humphreys, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, will commence on Tue Feb 7th, 8 -10.15p.m. Venue: Dunogue, Carrickmacross.
The course includes - understanding the following: The Self, Relationships, Children, Behaviour, Feelings/Emotions. Also, how we communicate and how to build Self-Esteem. No matter what sphere of life a person is in, whether it is having a career outside the home or rearing children in the home, all areas involve individuals in communication with each other. An understanding of 'The Self' helps a person to have a greater awareness of their communication, in relationships, and its effect - whether adult to adult or adult to child. This course is, therefore, suitable for singles and parents alike. For further information on the course' Effective Parenting of Self and Children', please phone 086 8161800.
