Training
SALUTOGENIC CONSULTANT AND COMMUNICATOR
Goals
The training enables participants to communicatively encourage healthy self-regulation in therapeutic, counseling, and educational settings. Reflective motivation plays an important role in this process.
In the basic training, participants learn to consistently apply a salutogenic approach to their everyday and professional communication and cooperation—to implement a focus on attractive coherence goals and helpful resources. They should be able to communicate in their field of work in a salutogenic and cooperative manner that promotes healthy development. Accumulated pathogenetic (disease-oriented) knowledge should be integrated in this process.
Contents
In addition to the topics mentioned in the curriculum (see below), well-known fundamental aspects of communication are reflected, such as dialogic, co-creative, informative, sender-receiver model and circular communication, resonance, feedback rules, listening, transference-counter-transference, etc.
Salutogenic communication is based on systemic and development-oriented psychology.
Structure of the training
An introductory webinar is available to get a taste of the method and the people involved. It lasts three hours and includes two keynote speeches, dialogue exercises, questions, and group discussions. (See curriculum for registration link.)
After this introductory webinar, you can choose to participate in the basic training to become a Salutogenic Communicator. This includes four theory webinars (90 minutes each) and three in-person seminars (each held on weekends), culminating in a certification. For professional use, we recommend the SalKom® Consultant qualification, which also includes two live supervision sessions, three written and oral case supervision sessions, and the final thesis.

for use in a professional setting as a SalKom® consultant
Supervision and development weekend
During the development and supervision seminar, we learn from each other in consultations or therapeutic conversations, which are supervised by the group as a Salutogenic Reflecting Team (SRT) under the guidance of a supervisor.
The SVEW serves as an opportunity for in-person supervision for SalKom® consultants, coaches, and therapists, as well as for annual stimulation and updating of their own salutogenic communication skills. Professional therapists can also experience salutogenic communication in practice as guests on these weekends. Clients are also welcome to receive a free SalKom® consultation in advance of the group.
Secondly, the SVEW serves to further develop SalKom® by presenting new findings and sharing experiences. Annual participation in an SVEW is recommended for all SalKom® consultants.
For the final certificate as a certified SalKom consultant, follow the steps below:
- Telecommunication supervision of three written case reports
- Written final paper followed by joint reflection
