TALA

TALA training is for staff working in pastoral roles in schools and colleges. TALAs provide an emotionally safe therapeutic space, where children and young people can experience being attuned and listened to at a deep level. Whilst TALAs are not counsellors, they help children and young people to process their emotions, to understand how they have responded so far, to uncover new ways of responding and to increase their resilience.

Attendance is required at all three full day sessions with a further commitment to attend half-termly Educational Psychologist or therapist led supervision sessions following completion of the respective course. This course includes a combination of whole group teaching, tutor demonstrations and small group coaching sessions.
