Professional Reflective Practice 

For activity providers, coaches, play workers, and venue staff who support children's mental wellbeing every day - without the clinical backing

Why Reflective Practice Matters in Your Role

Working with children is deeply rewarding — but it can also be emotionally demanding. Activity providers, play workers, and youth staff regularly encounter challenging behaviour, anxiety, and family crises in their sessions. Unlike teachers or social workers, many of these professionals do not have access to structured spaces to reflect on these experiences or process the emotional impact of their work.

Reflective Practice Groups give you a safe, facilitated space to:

  • Process challenging situations and explore your responses

  • Build resilience and prevent burnout

  • Learn practical strategies for managing behaviour and supporting children

  • Connect with peers who understand the unique pressures of your role

  • Strengthen your professional confidence and wellbeing

These groups provide the support and professional development that activity providers often lack, helping you sustain your work while maintaining your wellbeing.
