Join us on our training courses which are taking place throughout 2026! The courses include Listening training, a New Listening to children training course and Holding Time, a course about how to listen to people impacted by Dementia.
SYCLS provides Listening training in an Active, Reflective form of Listening. The training teaches people to listen without interruption, judgement or deflection in a way that makes someone feel valuable and heard. The sessions equip people for highly effective listening in day-to-day settings, whilst also providing the framework for listening in a more formal context. If you want to increase your listening skills and provide a listening ear to support people through the challenges of life, you can book on to a SYCLS Listening training programme. See the flyer below for the details of this course and our other training.
“I think every person who deals with people in
Listening Training delegate
any pastoral/managerial role should do this
course. It makes you really think about how to
Listen properly.”
This year, we are pleased to be offering Children’s Listening Training sessions, designed to equip adults with the skills to listen to children effectively and supportively in a range of settings including in families, schools, youth organisations and churches. We are also offering training about how to support Children with Loss and another day of training to enable Non-verbal Listening to Children.
We have a special introductory offer of £500 per person, for all 6 days, if booked together. The courses are delivered by an experienced trainer, who has spent many years supporting children & young people with their mental health and wellbeing.
Our Children’s Listening Service is our fastest growing service, with 144 children a year accessing listening sessions, primarily aged 5–12 (Key Stages 1, 2 & 3).
