Feedback from the London Area

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Your training was the talk of the office for several days and I know that several practitioners have already tried their new skills!! It has clearly empowered Team Members and given them another tool in their “kit”. Please keep us up to date with forthcoming training. Thanks very much for the inspiration.

This model will allow for more positive and longer lasting outcomes. The training was interactive and allowed for practising. As well as being very informative it was very engaging.
