Time to change direction

Communication skills are important life management components

We know young people can listen, but not all have the ability to absorb the information in one session.  For that very reason, we go back over particular modules throughout the course.  We deliver our program with a modern twist and a very big hint of fun using role play as an effective work tool in our developing skills program.  Unlike most providers they chose not to purchase a program off the shelf instead construct one themselves they designed the gatelands very own unique personal development programe / syllabus named changing directions.   Each one of the three key areas have 9 to 15 modules within for example the personal development would have things like :

-  Employability & training 

-  Important people to me

-  What is inappropriate behaviour 

-  Am I being exploited by my friends

-  Consent  

That's just naming a few.  An exhaustive syllabus by combining (D.M.S) development, management, supported we have everything we need to help our young people realise that they can make changes that will improve their situation within a safe spaces where emotional can be experienced.   knowing how to interact appropriately with people from various backgrounds and those in positions of authority and the opposite sex. 

- How to be assertive 

- Avoid conflict without losing face 

- Manage anger and frustration 

- Express feelings    

These are all important tools for success in life.  To make change a reality we must think differently and outside the box about young people's development.  We invest heavily to ensuring that this programs is up to the task whilst redefining young people's approach to the challenges they'll face in today's urban society.

Drugs preventing the need to try drugs and reducing the desire to try something new :

-   Redefining awareness of long-term abuse

-   The issues surrounding the misuse use of drugs

-   Substances abuse

We promote the feel good factor' with the psychological benefits that come with change.  We allocate a time slot each week for every young person on our program to monitor their progress.
