Funded Training for Professionals who work with young people based on Positive and Transpersonal Psychology

7 days of classroom training in Transformational Youth work and Positive Psychology applied to working with disengaged young people, consisting of a two-day induction followed by 5 one-day sessions (spread over 6 months).

This professional training provides transferable skills that can be used in all work with young people

Training Modules include:

● Forming healthy attachment with young people, attachment theory, relational dynamics, mentoring and role modelling. Building healthy attachments through relationship
● Facilitating young people learning skills of self-reflection – awareness of choice and consequence – making choices that get the outcomes that they want
● Reframing – turning challenges/problems into developmental steps forward and into a learning experience
● A transformational approach, mindfulness, becoming a reflexive practitioner
● Mindsets – shifting from a negative (I cannot) to a positive, growth based one – based on work of Dr Carol Dweck

● Adolescent and youth development: working with challenging behaviour, conflict resolution. Relating to the deeper need behind behaviour (includes Erik Erikson’s developmental stages)
