Emotion-Focused Skills Training for Schools
School staff are highly trained experts in education. But as you are faced with increasingly complex and difficult challenges with your students in the areas of emotions, behaviour, motivation and interpersonal relationships, it can feel like navigating these challenges uses up all your time and energy, leaving you feeling depleted and discouraged.
Our training is simple and effective, aiming to provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to navigate and resolve these challenges as they arise, allowing you to get back to the job of teaching.
