(New World Dictionary, 1974)

Key Benefits
 |
Often, one-on-one
therapy is not needed as much as in-depth training to groups of people that
have similar needs. Involvement is considerably greater, because the format
is less threatening with no stigma of being ‘in therapy’. |
 |
The support and
encouragement developed in the relationships amongst those who attend often
provides the needed additive for lasting change in lives. |
 |
Educational
conferences are more cost-effective for the church or organization that
hosts a conference. |
 |
Dr. Focks’
conferences deal specifically with the prevalent needs that are common in
these highly secular and stressful times. People are usually aware they have
these needs and welcome the opportunity to participate. |
 |
All conferences
are an integration of solid biblical principles and proven psychological
methods. People are both trained in life-changing skills and built up in
their faith. |
 |
These conferences
blend seamlessly with the ministry of the local church. Dr. Focks’ goal is
to support the local churches, not compete with them. All conferences are
tailor-made to fit the needs of the church or organization—in length of
time, format, target group, emphasis, etc. |
