Training & mentoring

Build and refine your knowledge and skills

How can Your Headspace help?

Your Headspace provides training and mentoring services. Zein is experienced in devising and delivering effective, tailored training and providing mentoring to support learning, for all levels of experience.

Training is designed with you to suit your experience and learning requirements. Sessions are practical, engaging and based on research evidence. Training can encompass a general awareness and understanding of speech, language and communication and/or move towards more in-depth topics relevant to your sector. For example, key strategies you may find useful when working with a child or young person in your context. Training that includes follow up mentoring will activate knowledge and further develop confident and practical application of skills.

Training and mentoring are available in person and/or online as appropriate. Contact Your Headspace to discuss your requirements.

  • Build awareness and understanding of speech, language, and communication.

  • Empower and change the way that adults think about and interact with children and young people who may have speech, language, and communication needs.
