Language is really Important Shape the conversation in stages, structure will help. More knowledge on the help that is out there/ where to signpost people to More confidence in how to start a conversation and important questions to ask which previously I would have avoided

The course covered a difficult subject and gave enough time to reflect and put into practise some of the techniques discussed.

The course made me think more around langauge and being able to be direct and ask questions. Also more confident when it comes to someone having a plan and how to dismantle this which again had made me think differently around this.

Pace of the course was good and broken up sufficiently so it wasn't too overwhelming.
