Despair rarely arrives all at once. It builds through five stages, from discontentment to being downcast, then discouraged, then depressed, and finally despairing, where isolation and hopelessness take hold. This course teaches SCCI's approach to depression and despair. You will learn what the body may be contributing and when to involve a physician, what the heart is saying underneath, and how to help without dismissing the suffering or treating the person as a diagnosis. Ed Welch supplies the listening posture and the well-meant advice that does more harm than good. The course closes with a counseling case scored on S.O.S., traced through Fruit to Root, and worked into a plan built on hope in Christ.
