Social Isolation and Loneliness Training Now Live
Nearly 500 people attended webinars this week hosted by the Zero Suicide Alliance (ZSA) marking the launch of their latest training resource: Social Isolation and Loneliness Training.
The sessions explored the themes of social isolation, loneliness, and the value of meaningful connection, while also introducing the newly developed course content.
MAP Training Sessions - Halton
The demand for early help support in Halton is increasing, meaning professionals are busier than ever and we are all struggling with capacity. To help support with this, a condensed early help assessment is being re-launched, which is easy to use while still assessing the needs of families, children and young people in Halton.
MAP training is not mandatory, but will provide you with the tools and skills to enable you, the practitioner to take part in the MAP (Multi-Agency Plan) process.
