About the course
Building Self-Esteem training attempts to enhance the positive outlook of young people who qualify for housing support. The course is for workers who are working with or, may, at some time, work with young people and attempts to give workers another practical skill and insight to enable them to work more effectively with their clients. Self-esteem has been identified as a key factor in Teenage Pregnancy. However, many Housing Support Workers come into contact with clients who would benefit from an enhancement of their self-esteem.
The course has been developed by experienced trainers and practitioners working in teenage pregnancy. It is envisaged that once staff have been trained they will be able to use the materials from the course with their clients to help boost their self-esteem.
