Community enterprises are often an absolute lifeline for people, particularly for those who have known real hardship and enormous challenges in their lives. So, this training course aims to support community workers with skills and knowledge to embellish what they are already doing. This includes evidence-based interventions that promote a real sense of belonging, of feeling valued, the capacity to live life to the full with meaning and purpose.
This course is available to commission, contact us to discuss dates.

"This has been the best training course I have been on. It has changed the way I look at situations especially those involving young people. It has widened my knowledge and understanding of people, their behaviour and what it means giving me a better understanding of the human brain and the driving factors behind some behaviours. Changing the way we speak people enables them to give you more information and have a more positive interaction." David Brailey-Evans, Neighbourhood Beat Manager
