“I was astonished by the statistics that were discussed. I think everything was very relevant to me. I found the recording and reporting discussion helpful. I think it was all very thorough. On the back of this training, I visited a client with Pica. I was able to discuss some strategies that staff will implement.” Social Worker

“The importance of hearing from a professional trainer and a family carer trainer. By co-hosting, both professionals and families can get a better understanding of the other and how important both roles are in supporting loved ones. A person’s life can be greatly improved when everyone supporting them understands their way of communication.” Professional
