LAMP

LAMP = Leader Accelerated Multiplication by Professionals

This course invites participants to embark on a profound journey, mining gold that can accelerate advances in global mental health care. Taught by Dr. John Warlow and team, it offers a robust presentation of the Christian Wholeness Framework. Participants are highly trained and experienced practitioners, educators, researchers, pastors, theologians, counsellors, therapists, psychologists, spiritual directors, doctors, and psychiatrists.

The Christian Wholeness Framework beautifully integrates theology and psychology in a masterful and mature way, providing a common uniting language which can be learned and spoken by people from all cultures and contexts. In many ways the CWF closes gaps between secular and sacred, psychology and theology, discipleship and healing, Global North and South, lay and professional.

Strong recognition of participants’ skills and competency sets, coupled with interactive group learning processes, integration of prior knowledge and capacity, through the language of the CWF, will be a powerful element of this course.

It is offered with interactive sessions, primarily online, and one week of face to face intensive in Chiangmai, October 13-17,  2025. Tutor led small group work, with personal application, skills work, and group case supervision contributes significantly to why people rate the Living Wholeness learning experience so highly.
