Each module is delivered by two experienced facilitators who utilise class discussions, group work, activities, videos, role plays and individual book work to engage the students. Students are also given the opportunity to talk privately with the facilitators if they choose to. Student wellbeing is of the utmost importance and our facilitators are committed to creating a safe, inclusive learning environment.
