Testimonials

Don't take out word for it! Here is what our students say: 

"I was impressed by the way the Adoption Support course "Building Resilience"was structured and so easy to navigate. Gill is an excellent presenter. There was a wide range of relevant, experienced based content, delivered in an enthusiastic, caring, considered way. I enjoyed the activities and found them to be a great way of recapping on what I had learnt and adapting the strategies to suit my situation. I have learned many new ideas and found myself questioning my own feelings and behaviours"

"Most enjoyed looking at reflexes and impact on children. Exercises can be taught to children/carers. Very interesting both for children, but also looking at my own reflexes’.er"
- Nithi Unadiat – Adoption Support Worker -

""Genuinely this really has helped me and my family. <br /> I have been able to easily access the site, log on and follow on from where I left off. When I did have a problem I telephoned Gill who talked me through step by step. What a lovely lady.<br /> When I initially printed off the work book my initial thought was “how may activities”?!!! <br /> With nothing to lose I set to. Prepared, I pressed play. Gill was very easy to listen to, smiley, humorous and more importantly understanding and honest. <br /> The course holistically is well thought out, the videos are not too long, the Activities are simple to follow with great prompts and for the sheer fact that I had to stop, sit down, relax and listen, was a joy and not a chore.

- Deepti Walm – Social Worker -

"‘Very insightful. Allowed me to see that some of my children’s behaviour is them seeking sensory stuff. Lots of very practical things to do to help my children develop. That there is something that will help no matter what age. Thank you very much for sharing some of your person examples – it was very helpful.’"
