Online Training for Practitioners

 

Do you work to support young people? This could be as a youth worker, sports coach, voluntary or community organisation or as an education professional, a teacher or in another pastoral care role. We’ve designed new training videos to help you, as you help young people.

 

At the heart of the Stay True to You approach is the importance of trusted adults, the people that surround young people with good advice and support.

We want to help everyone who works with children and young people to apply the TRUE approach because we know the impact you can have, whether you’re in a paid role or a volunteer.

We know how busy you all are and so we’ve produced a self-led video training resource that you can watch in two parts taking less than 2 hours to complete.

It has been designed for those of any level of experience, providing a detailed understanding of the pressures that young people feel growing up today, the risks they face, what protective factors can help to keep them safe, and finally how we can all help empower them to make good choices and stay safe.

Watch the videos in your own time – take breaks and come back to them – but complete them both, and then go on to use some of the free resources such as the workshop guide, conversation starters or posters – all available for free on this website.
