Training

Turn empathy into expertise.

C-SES is Parathera’s foundational training program, designed for adults who want to strengthen their ability to support others, even without a background in psychology or counseling. It’s also the first step toward becoming a Paratherapist, our new profession dedicated to high-quality, accessible emotional care.

Why C-SES Matters

Every day, people face transitions, stress, and uncertainty. Friends and colleagues often “just listen,” but true support requires skill. C-SES transforms emotional support from instinct into a professional practice, equipping you with tools to help people stabilize, feel understood, and move forward with confidence.

What You’ll Gain

• Structured skills: A framework for empathy, non-judgment, boundary management, and strengths-based problem solving.

• Professional credibility: Certification that demonstrates you’ve mastered competencies aligned with peer-support and coaching standards.

• Transferable impact: Skills you can use in leadership, education, healthcare, caregiving, or simply in your personal relationships.

• Flexibility + rigor: A blend of self-paced modules and live cohort practice ensures both convenience and accountability.

The Bigger Vision

C-SES is more than a course. It’s the beginning of a movement to make structured emotional support a new standard of care. We’re expanding access to compassionate, ethical, and human connection for people who deserve strong support.
