We have worked in the area of programmes for a number of years, in varying sectors and roles. Whist fulfilling these roles we have noticed that all programmes tend to be reactionary. Offending behaviour programmes after the person has committed the crime, and drugs and alcohol programmes once someone has an addiction. Therapy and support, once someone has a mental health disorder or difficulty. There are a number of factors that affect/influence these negative outcomes. We felt that surely it is better to prevent these larger problems from occurring by helping individuals understand the importance of resilience, strengthening individuals resilience and discovering their resilient barriers by exploring their emotional and physical environments. Starting points such as self-awareness, their emotions, communication or problem-solving, empathy and optimism, etc.
Our company educates Resilience by the use of interactive, preventative workshops and programmes. These aim to explore the way individuals think, feel and go on to behave. Our visual approach to education helps individuals feel, see, relate and therefore understand more. Our approach will support the reduction in poor mental health by creating a stronger self-awareness & identifying resilient barriers. Our workshops aim in giving information and explore the individuals thinking, to more specific courses that break down the individuals thinking and helps them identify better ways of dealing with different situations. We stand out from other workshops by creating interactive and immersive activities that fully engage the client and help them to relate to the topics being covered and retain the knowledge they've gained from their experience with us.
The main thing that sets us apart from other companies out there is the way we present our courses and information. Our programmes are lively, interactive, engaging and informative. We highlight new ideas and allow opportunity for new thinking through a coaching style. We have fully immersive workshops which allow individuals to feel and experience the context being covered. Given our knowledge and experience we are able to tailor our programmes and workshops to benefit all customer needs.
