Family Wellness Practice Reviews

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the session. But I was extremely surprised at the format and pleased with the level of information. I will definitely want to join more relevant session. Thank you

I felt that the training was really reassuring and thought-provoking. It made me aware of the fact that we are doing a lot, along the right lines, to support our pupils

A good overview of understanding where our children are and the reasons why they connect with digital media. An interesting point was made of how social media is used by children to feel involved and topical. Every generation would have experienced this but using different platforms. From comics/magazines, to music, tv programmes and now social media. How to engage and educated as parents is key and this was very useful.

Particularly appreciated trainer's "mini-scripts for parents" in certain situations they might encounter with their child

I enjoyed the course and the coping strategies that were mentioned seemed reasonable and achievable. I'm definitely going to try them. However, as it is a well being course, l feel that it should be run in the day time when one is more alert and receptive. Taking an evening to sit this is taking away from 'our' wellbeing factor! Many other businesses have training/courses within the working day. For example.... many banks open later one morning per week for staff training and updates are carried out in this time to ensure the service which is offered is delivered to a high standard, even more so in childcare. To sit a course in the evening and take in informatoon effectively, efficiently and stay focused is difficult after working an entire day or even not working that day and having responsibilities at home, is very tiring! Training isn't every week so it would have been good to have it for example- 9am one morning and parents advised in advance that morning the nursery will open at 10am due to staff training/ course. l believe this would be exceptable to the majority of parents. Working in childcare is although, rewarding in many ways to see the children you care for flourish in all areas of development- it is also very challenging. Most parents of the children.... comment from time to time... l couldn't do your job! Overall, our trainer was jovial and kept me awake. She delivered the course well and in a friendly and warm manner.

An excellent session. Thank you so much.

A really valuable session, thank you - clear and informative with practical strategies. Presented in a very supportive and accessible format.

Dr Kiran Nijabat was knowledgeable and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the session, and learnt from all of the varying strategies and advice that she parted. She created a safe space for conversation and I want to say thank you for a valuable course.

A great session which was heavy on empathy, practicality and was delivered in a relatable and engaging way

It was very enjoyable and helped me to pause and reflect on how I manage my feelings, my worries and anxieties. I will really going to try to implement mindfulness in my days so that will help me deal with things in a open minded way.
