Training
The Young Person’s Health Training Programme offers free training on a variety of topics including Sex & Relationships, Substance Awareness and Mental Health.
New for 2010/11 are courses on:
- Working with Girls & Young Women;
- Embracing Sexual Minorities;
- Self-Esteem, Resources for Support – during pregnancy and once a young parent;
- Cooking in the Community;
- Introduction to Healthy Eating – Tier 1.
The Behaviour Change course format has been reviewed and we are now offering three course levels: Introductory, Full and Refresher.
All courses are free of charge for all multi-agency practitioners working with young people in the city of Portsmouth. We ask for your line manager’s signature when booking onto a course so they are committed to releasing staff to attend supervision sessions for ongoing support.
If you are Hampshire-based, then you will need to undertake the Hampshire Training Programme.
Due to the popularity of our courses for block bookings from the same organisation, we can only accept a maximum number of three participants per organisation. Once a named place has been booked an organisation cannot replace the person on the day.
