Courses for Staff - Growing Confidence

Work with staff

Growing Confidence has developed, piloted and rolled out a multidisciplinary training programme for staff working with children and families in Edinburgh to support the promotion of positive mental health in themselves and others.

This includes a 16 hour CPD programme called Confident Staff, Confident Children which was piloted in 2007 and has now been delivered 80 times and over 850 multi-agency staff across Edinburgh have benefited from the course.

Additionally, over 180 staff from our initial
28 supported settings have also been able to benefit from our one to one Coaching Partnerships supported by Standard Life.

"They say my work is just a drop in the ocean. I say the ocean is made up of drops."
Mother Theresa

The work with staff is part of the Growing Confidence holistic model (available at bottom of page) to promote emotional health and well-being and complements the other programmes working with children, parents and carers.
