We can provide a range of life skills courses to help individuals and groups improve their communication skills and relationships at school, at home and at work.

All Relate courses are taught by experienced counsellors/trainers, who are part of a skilled network, professionally trained and supervised by Relate. We aim to provide a safe, comfortable environment with the emphasis on participative and experiential learning.

Business and voluntary sector training

Relate has designed and developed courses for a variety of organisations ranging from large corporations to charities and government agencies.

UK business loses £12.2 billion a year through absenteeism. Much of this is due to relationship problems at work and home. Relate being one of the leading UK relationship experts and operating in your local community can offer help and solutions to reduce these problems.

Relate offers courses including: Communication Skills; Conflict Resolution; Assertiveness; Dealing with Stress; Managing Change; and Time Management. 

In addition, we can also design and deliver programmes tailored to the needs of your organisation including listening and advice giving skills and managing emotional clients. The training will usually take place in small groups. We encourage people to talk about their experiences and to apply what they learn to their own work situations. Our courses can also lead to recognised qualifications through our accredited learning programme.

Schools

Relate’s work in schools includes helping young people to become peer listeners or buddies to other pupils and exploring how healthy relationships can be developed.

Relate can provide a series of workshops or courses on relationship issues that deal with the sensitive matters of peer pressure, bullying, understanding of sexual development and dealing with pressure and stress.

As Relate has so much experience of helping people with relationship problems, we are well placed to work with young people to help them be prepared for their life changes and pressures so that they will be in a good position to deal with any future eventualities.

All of the Relate workshops and courses can be tailored to the requirements of any school, college or youth group.
