Training for the Children’s Workforce
Teaching you to deliver our unique resilience programme
As part of our work with schools and NHS, we have developed a 6 hour programme for children aged 7 and upwards.
Our programme builds resilience and capacity by activating children and young people’s support systems.
If you would like to learn more about our programme before enrolling in the facilitator training, take a look at our free introductory course. It takes around 30 minutes to complete and gives you a flavour of the programme and the online facilitator training.

Team-builder Narrative Conversational Tool
This activity is for practitioners to play with individual children or families with whom they are working. It supports conversations and story-telling about the important people in children’s lives. Children can also play in pairs as part of a class or group team-building activity. Using the language of team sports, children are invited to share stories of celebration, hopes and wishes for those they would like to consider to be part of their ‘team’. The activity is inspired by the Team of Life narrative therapy approach and aims to help children to recognise the support available to them and appreciate the contributions of others to their lives.
