About This Course
Counselling rooted in who we are.
Imported counselling models were built for a different people in a different context. C202 reclaims African heritage and identity as a source of healing — weaving together biblical foundations, indigenous wisdom, and Spirit-led transformation into a 15-week journey + Master Class you can apply immediately in church, community, and clinical settings.
Facilitated by Dr. Nicole E. Francis Cotton — counsellor, educator, and founding director of Victorious Living Foundation — through the GHBU St. Maarten Campus.
