We have learnt over our 12 years as a service working with families and professionals from the Lothians that similarly to the young people, we work with adults feel safer and securer to learn and share thoughts and feelings in small groups that are experiential.
Therefore, our training packages are targeted at groups of 14 but we can adapt for bigger groups.
Staff consultations can support members of the team to explore relational principles to develop and strengthen relationships. While gaining new skills and strategies through thinking about the importance of play in supporting the children they work with.
Please contact us directly for costs for our trainings or to discuss your teams needs as we can create a bespoke training event to meet specific service needs.
