At the heart of our approach is the idea of personal responsibility. Giving people skills is what builds resilience and confidence. Aggression serves no one. It’s more a reflection of thinking, language, beliefs, and learnt behaviour.

By developing the key skills of relationship management with critical thinking and the 3 R’s (Responsibility, Respect, and Resilience) we enhance and improve the quality of people’s individual lives and how we behave towards each other.

The programme includes brain science, how we think, handle stress, and make choices.

What you do and how you do it are key skills.

The very nature of choice is the recognition that we debate about what we do and the consequences before we do it. This internal dialogue is exactly where we use our skills.

Managing risk and consequence aren’t new to our learners, we just look at it in a different way, arming people for the situations that they encounter every day.

Instead of giving people a certificate for anger management why not have something that is relevant to their lives, their future, and the work-place rather than something that is focused on the problem and the past.

Other benefits include:

• Building skills, confidence, and self-esteem
• Learning to say NO!
• Skilling people to make better decisions in difficult situations
• Skills that are transferable into the workplace
• Reduction in social exclusion
• Substance misuse
• Healthier lifestyles and well-being
