Trainer: Susan Lawrence
"Great training and great atmosphere created by the group facilitator to face fears and have a go including modelling the learning. Grounding, breath, slowing down and enunciating speech tips and having a go in a held/safe environment."
Youth Justice Practitioner, Bristol City Council, June 2024
"I can feel a noticeable difference in my confidence levels and I now have techniques to use in different situations. Grounding exercises and time to reflect as a group was useful. Thank you."

"Really enjoyed that we tried out lots of technique exercises and got to practice as we went. Could see everyone's confidence increasing. Learnt a lot!"
Volunteer Coordinator Womankind, June 2023
"I found everything very valuable. All of the group activities were great; challenging enough to stimulate and bring us out of the comfort zone. I wish I had done this course years ago!"
