Life Works
Life Works is a programme of three modules, which have been specifically designed to help people who are dealing with challenges in their lives.
The course enables people to take steps to improve their future. It may be a need for more confidence, assertiveness or a greater understanding of who they are and what they want to achieve.
The modules are each over 5 sessions of 2.5 hours and can used to build on each other or delivered separately.
Each module comes with an extensive workbook, which includes techniques and tips to use as a later resource.
On completion each participant will be presented with a certificate and will be asked to complete a personal evaluation of the course.
