Amazing to be back in my home town of Wallasey delivering Team of Life training with Wirral MHST today

Great Team of Life training day Silver Jubilee Park Stadium today. They chose “Bold about mental health” as their motto. They certainly are!

Excited to be doing Team of Life Training at Silver Jubilee Park, Hendon Football Club today for Central and North West London NHS

If you are keen to know more about the narrative Cards for therapists, see Dr Joanne Murray & Dr Rhian Hughes' review: https://www.theint.co.uk/resources/book-reviews/
A card that particularly stood out to us both, and we found ourselves continuing to come back to in sessions and conversations, was:
“What things, activities or ideas make you feel that you are
walking toward a special place?”

Amazing day with Buckinghamshire MHST today, loved meeting their growing team and hearing about their Team of Life successes and plans ”when I talk to schools about Team of Life they ALL want it”; “it’s the best group we run in schools”

Exciting to be in Buckinghamshire today after being invited by the MHST to do in person for training after having met them for online training in Team of Life 2 years ago

Having some great conversations about children’s mental health and well-being at the Beyond CYP Transformation Programme Conference, great to hear children’s voices shining through and thanks for the opportunity to present Team of Life

Looking forward to delivering Team of Life training for West London NHS Trust MHST tomorrow!

Just received this very generous testimonial, thank you Sabahat!

Great end to the week with a booking for more Team of Life training from Bucks MHST; they’ve been embedding Team of Life in schools for the past two years and following “really positive feedback from students and schools” want us to come and train all their new staff. In person too! Can’t wait to meet the team and hear more about what they’ve been doing.
