Background

Discovering Potential offers practitioners on effective yet simple model for delivering sustainable services to their clients or learners.
Discovering Potential is a resource pack that supports practitioners and managers who work with learners who may have low self-esteem. The pack provides an essential resource for those working on a one-to-one basis with learners who are ‘hard-to-reach’, ‘marginalise’ or ‘socially-excluded’. Crossing different sectors such as health services, voluntary sector, education sectors and social services, it offers valuable advice and strategies for the pivotal role of inter-agency working
The pack and the training will help you understand what is meant about health, self-esteem, learning and working in partnership, not just in relation to your work with clients, but for yourself and your organisation too.
All participants will receive a copy of Discovering Potential: A practitioner's guide to supporting improved self-esteem and well being through adult learning, and will learn about and experience the Discovering Potential model.
NIACE trainers will support participants through some of the concepts and exercises in the Discovering Potential pack. There will be opportunities to consider how these approaches can be integrated into practice.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
 | Understand how the concepts of self-esteem and learning relate to each other. |
| consider and discuss a range of strategies |
| Plan and devise strategies for working with clients how they can work collaboratively. |
| Identify how they can help clients, themselves and their organisations through the application of the Discovering Potential model. |
