‘Working with Adolescents’

Community of Practice

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!

Workshops

Want to improve culture? Try our escape room workshop!

Designed and facilitated by psychologists, this half-day, immersive workshop is ideal for any away day, involving an online escape room and facilitated discussions before and after. Attendees understand and reflect upon how culture, leadership and team skills influence decision-making under pressure and collective performance.

The Escape Room

Your team 'awakes' in a room in 2041. You are stuck in a building run by an AI system.

Your team agrees to help, in exchange attempting to breakout to win your freedom. Will you manage to escape...?

Outcomes

Better understanding of:

How culture is experienced

Leadership, teamworking styles and preferences that exist in the team

Impact of communication and decision-making styles under pressure

Key learnings and actions to take back to professional lives
