"The Right Ingredients"

Schools Project/ after school clubs /youth organisations etc

Opal Training and Consultancy are offering an exciting opportunity for children from Primary 1 to year 12 in High School. The programme consists of 6 after school sessions lasting 1hour and 15 minutes. The “Right Ingredients” will be delivered by a Life Coach/Therapists and is an amazing opportunity for children to really learn about themselves, examine their self image, deal with self esteem issues and grow and develop their own individuality and self confidence / belief.

They will be encouraged to “have an attitude of gratitude” be grateful for their health, care for others and their environments. Positive outlooks and attitudes will be promoted throughout which will support good mental health in later years. The participants will keep a journal and parents will have the choice to get involved by discussing and looking at the journal with the child, making the parents aware of any issues they need to address. Visualisation and Relaxation techniques will be introduced providing children with a platform to elevate stress and to begin thinking of their pathway in life. If you know of schools/youth organisations etc who might be interested please contact us today.
