Fostering Emotional Resilience & Harmony in the Classroom 10 Hour Course

** Please note that this course is not part of our EPV Programme **

I enjoyed the course because it highlighted the importance of self-care and resilience for the teacher as well as the child. The positive feedback also encouraged greater confidence among the participants.
