    • learn about PANDA’s approach to emotional wellbeing education
    • explore, observe, practice and discuss skills including facilitation, responding to risk disclosures and protective containment
    • receive your copy of the PANDA education resource kit, including activity plans, tools and handouts you can use in your groups
    • learn about PANDA’s peer education program, in which we train and support local volunteers to share their story in education sessions
    • discuss implementation of PANDA activities in antenatal education, new parent groups and playgroups/supported playgroups
    • get an update on PANDA Helpline services and other resources.

“Great tips and group work skills – will be used in practice.” – Playgroup facilitator training attendee
