The training gave me some good skills and ideas which were easy to put into a practical setting. I am already using exercises in Groupwork and 1:1

A confirmation that the positive approach to solutions does work. The need not to focus on the problem. I will be using the approach to enable parents to set goals to bring about change to break cycles.

Millie Easter

The training offered refocusing of work undertaken and confirmation of good practice.

The training has clarified skills and strategies I have used previously as well as informing me of new ways of engaging with young people to help them find better ways of dealing with situations they face. The principals of Groupwork facilitation outlined were particularly helpful, e.g. “challenge the offence without losing the offender”. This approach will be a great help in my work. I expect the skills I have learnt will help me in managing difficult Groupwork in schools more effectively and for the benefit of the young people.

Mark Seyler

The training encouraged evaluation of work with young people at present – and possible new intervention/skills to incorporate.

Matthew Doocey

The impact the training had was to highlight the need to look to the future rather than dwell on the past. It has energised me.

Judith Andrew

benefited from learning about how to keep the sessions forward thinking. I found the scaling exercise and balloon drawing useful as direct tools which could be applied. I enjoyed the course and benefited from learning this way of working.

Mumtaz Suileman

Made me aware of how the brief-therapy principles can work for me as well as others – it made it clear how powerful visualisations can be. The training gave me various tips on involving the least interested members of a group and how to sensitively challenge participants.

Thank you for the excellent training day you conducted at Gibbs Green School . Several learning mentors who attended the day said that it was the best training day they have ever been on. Your approach is already being used in the school, in the PLSU and by the learning mentors. Everyone also really appreciated both the way you presented the day and the humour.
