Identity and Self Esteem

This training is facilitated by Scott King, Section 31 Training and Consultancy. Scott, a former fostered child, spent his entire life living and working in the care system and throughout that has gained great insight and a huge amount of valuable experience which he uses to help, support and educate those working with children in care.

Developing self-compassion is helpful to good mental health and contributes to a stable sense of identity. Children in care will have faced great adversity in their life and so will often have low self-esteem, low self-worth and be confused about their identity. This course will take a look at these issues. We will look at just how important identity and self-esteem is, not just in the now but in the long term. Many children in care do not like themselves and it is of paramount importance that we teach them how to value themselves and believe in themselves, to teach them self-compassion and to be kind to themselves.
