About this course:

In this 4 hours of teaching and interaction we lift the lid on boys identity and behaviour and look at the emotional world beneath.

We explore how developing emotional worlds can be impacted upon by race, LGBTQ+, gender and poverty.

We provide the Circle of Courage robust model for understanding emotional worlds and generating strategies.

This course gives an opportunity to focus on the emotional needs of boys and how to meet these. We lift the lid on an emerging urgent inclusion issue, namely meeting the emotional needs of boys. Everyone knows a boy. They may be pupil, son, brother, parent or partner. Boys when they become adults are over represented in the prison, and mental health system.

In one recent year 1300 young men committed suicide in the UK. In the UK the commonest cause of death among those aged 16-35 is suicide. Three men for every one woman kill themselves every year).

1 in 4 women experience domestic violence and 2 women a week are killed by a current or ex partner. Boys and men are a major concern. We need to find ways to allow them to unclench their hearts and learn to experience, process, communicate and manage their own emotional lives for their own and for the good of the wider community.
