Here are some student comments from previous workshops:

The skills I learnt were easy to apply and relevant to the different style of work at A- level.
Focused on the real pressures we face & how to help.
Very useful skills wish I’d known them earlier!
Gave me many ideas about how to change my plans for social life, schooling & work organisation.
Useful techniques we wouldn’t have learned otherwise.
