Training / Advocacy

 
 

FEGANS IS PLEASED to offer training on a number of topics in which we have expertise. Our training is suitable for individual parents, carers, schools staff or anyone who would like to improve their skills with children. Training may be for a couple of hours, a whole day workshop, or a series of sessions over several weeks. Some of our course titles are indicated below. We are able to adapt our courses to meet individual needs and situations.
We are also happy to consider invitations to share a training platform with others covering a range of related topics for either a Christian or secular audience.

Basic Counselling
We offer a 50 hour basic counselling course at a location to suit you within Kent, East Sussex or south London. The course is aimed particularly at Christians and involves theory, practice and individual work. The course is person-centred.

Listening to Children

Children and Grief

Building Self Esteem in Children
This is also a one day course (10am – 3pm) looking at how and where we get our self-esteem, and how we can enable children to grow in this area. Maximum 12 people.
