Recognising and Responding to Distressed People

This experiential workshop aims to equip people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to support others who are experiencing distress.The workshop covers active listening, boundaries and referral skills, and active participation is encouraged and facilitated.It is hoped that people will gain a sense that they can feel more confident to engage with others who are in distress with a view to hearing their story, minding themselves in doing so and feeling equipped to consider suggestions they can make about where further support can be found.
