Tailor-made Training
Home » Courses & Conferences » Tailormade Training
We offer training on a wide range of subjects in two major areas: Promoting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people and working with parents of teenagers. We can tailor existing courses to your requirements, or design others from scratch to your specification.
Young People in Focus takes responsibility for the course content including programme, handouts and arranging trainers' overnight accommodation. Your agency provides the venue and selects the participants. Follow the links for more information.

Making a Booking
Ideally, Young People in Focus requires written notice of a request for training about 12 weeks before the date you want the training to take place. We will consider requests for training with less notice but may not be able to meet them.
There are five main steps involved:
- Discuss your requirements informally with Jayne Hellett, Project Manager,
Mental Health and Training Projects, if the training is for those working with young people, or with Wook Hamilton, Project Manager,
Parenting and Training Projects, if the training is about working with parents.
Jayne and Wook will let you know whether Young People in Focus is able to provide what you are looking for and will be happy to explore the issues involved in providing the training to help you decide if you want to go ahead. - When you are sure you want to go ahead, put this request in writing (e-mail is fine) to Jayne Hellett or Wook Hamilton. Specify what you want the course to achieve, who the training is for, and your preferred dates.
- In most cases, we will acknowledge your written request by sending you a written agreement that confirms the basic details about the course.
- The Young People in Focus trainer who will run the course will then work with you to plan the event in detail. Consultation is usually done by telephone and e-mail.
- Lise Hansen or Sarah Lee, Course Co-ordinators, then follows through
the practical arrangements for the training.
