Here’s what professionals have to say after attending our online workshops:
“Really interesting and informative. Presentation was engaging – lots of useful information presented in a compact/concise way, easy to follow, not too heavy. Lots of food for thought! Following the workshop, I watched the Ted Talk that was referred to – Recognising Glass Children – really powerful and emotive – thank you for recommending. Thank you for an enjoyable workshop.”
“The presenter was a sibling so it was good to hear their story. The session made me think about the pressures some siblings face and how we sometimes as professionals ignore their needs.”
“For me, I now have a better and refreshed knowledge about the challenges that siblings of the children I work with may be facing so I can bring this into the work I do and it will definitely be something I discuss more with parents”
