EPSS presents Well Being Toolkit training

The Educational Psychology and Specialist Support Service is pleased to be able to offer training from the newly developed Well Being Toolkit. Developed by Dr Tina Rae, Consultant Psychologist in conjunction with SEBDA (Social, Emotional, Behavioural difficulties, Association) and the Nurture Network, the toolkit is a skills-based training programme to foster social and emotional development in children and young people. Its key aims are to allow professionals to:

1. Feel confident to develop the appropriate skills and knowledge base to identify at-risk students
2. Help prevent the escalation of any perceived difficulties and problems and
3. Provide support for those experiencing social, emotional and/or behavioural difficulties enabling them to achieve

We had intended to run this training cross county but it will now be starting in Norwich at The Hewett Academy on January 12th 2016 and will run until the 6th December 2016. Sessions are two hours long and will begin at 3.45 - 5.45 pm. Sessions are fortnightly across a school year.

Cost: The first two sessions (Session 1: Understanding Mental Health and Well-Being and Session 2: Developing Assessment for Well-Being) underpin all the sessions and are therefore compulsory and costed in at ½50 for the two sessions. Staff can then choose additional sessions at ½40. Schools/clusters who attend all the sessions receive a 20% discount (saving of ½154) of the total costs and pay only ½616.
