Let's Get Listening Course

"I think that this course has the power to have significant impact on learners and staff in my school at any time but particularly as we face the challenges of covid-19. The impact that a listening culture could have on the mental health of all within our establishment cannot be underestimated and should be rolled out in all schools across the country!" (Head Teacher)

Course Participant

"I feel that there are invaluable lessons contained within this course that really give the learner the ability to practise listening in a way that is of value." (Course Participant)

Listen Well Award

"We are very aware of the issues around poor mental health for our young people and, often, lack of resources for them to tap in to. Where resources are available there are long waiting lists to be seen. There was something positive about empowering young people with the skills to support each other." (Teacher)

LWS Course

"Good listening is not about offering advice and solutions. In fact this can be counterproductive. I was impressed by how the complex and elusive issue of effective listening was tackled and made easy to understand." (GP)
