Reclaiming Youth Ireland has developed a suite of training programmes for anyone working with or living with children and youth, especially those who exhibit challenging behaviours. Trainings are listed below, with the section titles. All trainings can be delivered in-person or virtually, via Zoom.
Workshops are all independent of each other, though some lend themselves to being delivered as part of a learning and development intervention, such as Workshops 3, 4 & 5.
It is possible to work with organisation to ‘construct’ the desired or required programme of workshops.
