What people have said about this training:

“We covered practical, hands-on exercises which could be used in school and theoretical information of how to approach people’s anger, anxiety, or upset.”

“Very thought-provoking and helpful. It made me analyse the way I listen and reflect on how I would improve timing and settings of conversations, and the power of relationships and personal resources.”
