Send us a text

In this episode of the Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® (NICC) Podcast, we dive into the crucial topic of recognizing when and how to refer clients within the continuum of care. Understanding where you stand in terms of your training, supervision, and scope of competency is vital for offering safe, effective, and ethical support to those in need. We'll explore how knowing your limitations as a coach, counselor, or therapist is a sign of professional integrity, not failure, and how making appropriate referrals ensures that clients receive the best care possible.

We discuss the role of supervision, ethical responsibilities to "do no harm," and practical steps for identifying when a referral is necessary. We’ll also talk about how to navigate those delicate conversations with clients, emphasizing the importance of normalizing the referral process and affirming clients’ strengths and progress. This episode will equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions that promote both your growth as a professional and your client's well-being.

To deepen your understanding of these practices, consider joining the NICC Basic Training course. Learn more about how Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling can enhance your skillset by visiting https://joshspurlock.com/nicc-basic-training/.
