This is the third Elklan course I have completed and I have found them enjoyable, Interesting and I have learnt a lot of new things that I have been confident to put into practice.
Nicola Lidgett, 2023, re: Elklan Supporting Social, Emotional and Mental Health of Children and Young People
An amazing course. Extremely beneficial to my role as Advisory Teacher. Disseminating the information that I have learnt on the course has made a difference to my team members in terms of their approach to supporting families with children who have SEMH.
Claire Dodd, 2023, re: Elklan Supporting Social, Emotional and Mental Health of Children and Young People
This course is a must for anyone who is working with young children. I found the course content really beneficial to my role as Advisory Teacher for Flying Start. The delivery was excellent and the practical activities allowed me to reflect on current practice. Upon finishing the course, I have made huge changes to my approach to working with children who have or are experiencing trauma
Claire Dodd, 2023, re: Elklan Supporting Social, Emotional and Mental Health of Children and Young People
I have really enjoyed this course and it has helped me to use ELKLAN and the SEMH together. They really work together and complement each other.
