Why do this training?
Most parents and staff want their children/pupils to do well, but not at the cost of their mental health or wellbeing. As a result, pastoral care is becoming a major factor for parents and pupils when selecting a school.
How does this course add value?
- Introduces a coaching culture.
- Empowers pupils to solve problems, make decisions and accomplish goals.
- Offers structured lessons and sessions that are focused, time limited and cost effective.
- Helps prevent, intercept and support performance, mental health and wellbeing issues early before they develop or become more serious.
- Complements counselling and other pastoral care services:
- Provides an additional layer of support for basic issues – useful when such services are overstretched.
- Is an extra catch and referral point with respect to more complex issues.
