We are happy to share that the FIGT Board of Directors has approved the launch of a new, shared-interest FIGT affiliate:

 The Counseling and Coaching Network.

Counselors and coaches have become a growing subgroup in the FIGT community.

As a result, the Program Team of #FIGT18NL decided for the first time to have an Early Birds session on Counseling and Coaching. The session was well attended and confirmed the need to have a platform to share ideas and information within this subgroup during the whole year cycle and not only during the yearly Conference.

Communication, connection, and collaboration are at the heart of this initiative.

We see it as an opportunity to create a platform of communication and to share information that is relevant to our niche in the field of global counseling. It can be the place to go when you are moving countries and you have to find your Counseling professional way again. A place where relevant professional education opportunities can be shared. A place for peer supervision and much more. 

The leading team of the C&C Affiliate are all FIGT members:

Daniela Tomer, Tami Nelson, Shellee Burroughs, Jacqueline Herbstman and Kelli Jones Sanness

We are looking forward to hearing from you.  Please contact us at counseling@figt.org.
