Volunteer Training ManualYou expect your volunteers to be their very best in the counseling room. They expect you to teach them how. This manual contains exercises, case studies, and self-reflection questions to enhance application of the Seven Fundamentals which sets this manual apart from other Pregnancy Center manuals. The manual is based on adult learning theory and is full of illustrations and clearly written. This manual can also be used as a self-study program in conjunction with the CD Self Study Program using Power Point. See below for this product.

Self Study Training ProgramThis computer-based training program walks your volunteers through the Equipped to Serve Volunteer Training manual on their own. The program includes video introductions and content reviews by co-author Cyndi Philkill and interactive exercises so trainees can practice the skills they are learning. The Self Study Training consists of 3 CDs. The first 2 CDs are the training program and the 3rd CD contains all the worksheets, checklists, instructions, and answer sheets both trainee and supervisor will need to complete the program.

Role-play DVDsThree role-plays have been captured on DVD to use in your training program. Cyndi Philkill counsels women who are playing the roles of Tiana, Joanne and Gloria - three of the Case Studies found in the Equipped to Serve Volunteer Training material. Two of the Role-plays (Gloria & Tiana) are followed by an in-depth discussion of the role-play with the observers of the role-play. The post role-play discussion evaluates the skills and choices of the "Listener" in light of the Seven Fundamentals the trainees have been taught. Each role-play lasts about 30 to 40 minutes. Gloria and Tiana are followed by approximately 30 to 45 minutes of processing and evaluation discussion. The Joanne role-play does not have and discussion at the conclusion of the role-play Understanding that each client is unique, the role-plays are not intended to show how a particular counseling session SHOULD be conducted. The DVDs are a great tool for helping your volunteers see the Seven Fundamentals utilized in an actual listening situation and for trainers to have an opportunity to help trainees evaluate someone's use of the Seven Fundamentals and the choices made during a particular counseling session.

Male Training Supplement
In an attempt
to provide Centers with the materials they need to equip male volunteers
for the ministry I have developed what I am calling the Male Training
Supplement. It did not seem reasonable to create an entirely new manual
for men. But what I did create were pages designed for men. When training
a male volunteer you can take certain pages out of the existing volunteer
manual and replace them with pages from the Male Training Supplement. The
page numbers in the Male Training Supplement are exactly the same page
numbers. You could also just add them in as extra pages, for
example, leaving the female Case Studies for the men to view as well.
Here is what the Male
Training Supplement is comprised of:
1.
New Case Studies
The Client section of the manual, can be replaced with Case Studies for
men. What if Tiana, Sondra and Lisa brought their boyfriends with them to the
Center? What would their stories look like? I created three Case Studies
for those guys, Michael, Ricky and Patrick. The questions for reflection
have been changed to reflect gender differences as well. The last page of
this section is the "Review for Section Two" and the questions have been
altered slightly to help male volunteers review what they have learned and
apply that learning to male clients.
2.
RIGHT Communication Skills Section
This whole section has been changed to speak to the male volunteer
trainee. All of the language is geared toward men and all the practice
exercises have been changed to things guys might say in the counseling
room. All the listening skills from Reflective Listening through the
reprise of the poem" Today We Talked" have been modified.
3.
Sexual History Survey for Men
(Your Own Sexual History) has been changed to apply to men and their
sexual history. Since the page numbers are the same the female page can be
removed and the male sexual history inserted.
4. The Negative Test
What I have done is create Case Studies for the male counterparts of
our three Female Case Studies, Gloria, Alicia and Joanne. The Male Case
Studies tell the story from the perspective of Jim, Shaun, and Patrick,
the boyfriends of our Female Case Studies. The questions
for reflection have also been altered some to reflect the Male Case
Studies and what is reasonable for a male counselor in the context of
counseling at a Pregnancy Center. The Making Transitions section has also
been altered to reflect male scenarios. There is also a new Role Play
Observation Sheet and Review for Section Seven
This should provide
enough reflection exercises and interaction for men throughout the
training.
How I am selling this Male Training Supplement
In order to keep
costs down for both of us, I have decided to sell electronic copies of
this Male Training Supplement. This is how it works.
By purchasing the
product you get the license to print copies of the material whenever you
need them The cost is $75.00 which is a one-time fee for your unlimited
use of the materials within the context of your own training program at
the Pregnancy Center (see details in the contract).
The pages are in
adobe PDF format and cannot/should not be altered in any way.
