On Sunday 13th June and Monday 14th June, 36 enthusiastic and dedicated Mediators were trained by Julie McCracken in peer mentorship skills.
For us to be able to support others we need to be able to understand ourselves better. This informative, engaging, fun, interactive course supported students to become more self aware, develop better people skills and to understand the psychology of human behaviour.
Students reported:
