Peer Mentoring

In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere this course will enable you to learn about different forms of communication in a fun way.  Values and attitudes that shape us are examined and how and why other people may differ.  We explore problems and difficulties faced at various times in our lives and identify methods of support and agencies that could help in times of need.  Confidentiality and boundaries are discussed alongside the expectations and responsibilities of a peer mentor.

Understanding & Handling Relationships

This unit will explore active listening, effective conversation, and passive, aggressive and assertive behaviour.  With the help of a qualified counsellor you will explore anger and its physical effects and look at a range of strategies for positive change.

Getting & Giving Support

This unit will help you identify and access support relevant to your needs.  You will look at how people feel about asking for support, being offered support, and the effects on the individual when supporting others.  It includes confidence building exercises.

Understanding Feelings

This unit helps you identify your own feelings in good and bad situations and looks at factors that affect them.  You will discuss how feelings affect us and our behaviour towards others.  With the help of a qualified counsellor you will have the opportunity to explore your feelings and learn new strategies to deal with and manage them more effectively.
