'Mattering: An Introduction to the Relational Approach'.

The one day course is designed for people working at any level in Islington’s voluntary and public sector services and provides a practical framework and skill-set to develop effective and genuine interpersonal connections.

The training demonstrates the ABCDEs of the Relational Approach, including workshops and skills building in active-listening, self-reflective practice and understanding body language, as well as exploring how relationship dynamics are formed and developed.

The course is very down-to-earth and looks at the realities and challenges of work settings. There is time for discussion of the many benefits and challenges of working relationally and of how to work safely and responsibly. The trainings are also excellent opportunities for people to share their work situations with others and find support, inspiration, and knowledge from peers.
