‘Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much’
Helen Keller
We are a growing community of professionals who work with adolescents, either in the community, or within a healthcare or alternative provision setting. We meet monthly, online, for mini-training sessions, discussions and sharing of challenges and best practice.
What is it?
A Community of Practice is a group of people with shared interests or skills who come together to learn from each other and exchange ideas. It's all about connecting, sharing experiences, and finding solutions to common challenges.
Why Join One?
You will learn new skills, solve problems faster by tapping into others' expertise, and build supportive connections with other professionals. It's a great way to improve your skills and feel empowered in your role! Upcoming topics are suggested by group members, so join us to help shape future content!
