Education, information and awareness is a key part of our mission to help people of all ages and all genders heal from emotional trauma and to prevent and reduce its occurrence. At CLEAR we deliver a range of services, products and resources so that people of all ages and all genders can: understand what abuse is and what to do if abuse occurs; how it impacts on people and society; and to build emotional resilience and stay safe.
All our education, training and awareness delivery is tailored to the specific audience (all ages and circumstances), and delivered by qualified professionals. We also deliver a range of Continuous Professional Development opportunities through our Centre of Excellence
Our PREW programme promotes and supports emotional wellbeing and provides a supported space to safely explore challenging relationship issues and to explore the problems that surround them and the resolutions that are possible.
PREW is a course that:
• Can be tailored for all ages and circumstances
• Works equally well in schools, colleges, organisations and businesses
• Promotes emotional wellbeing – what it is, and how to enhance it - looking after self and others
• Enables people to develop positive attitudes towards relationships in order to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence.
• Is interactive and creative, using various film clips, activities and discussion.
PSP provides people with information and an understanding of peer support. The interactive style of delivery gives the potential peer supporters the opportunity to explore the peer support role and understand what will be expected of them.
Our PSP programme covers:
• Encouraging a culture of openness and responsibility across the organisation
• Recognising respectful, abusive and exploitative relationships and where to get help
• Improving self-esteem, confidence, problem solving and communication skills
• Peer Support – what it is, why it is important and how to support it
• Developing mentoring skills
• Improves a sense of belonging to their organisation
• Helps reduce the incidence of negative behaviours
• Is ASDAN accredited
The programme also includes help for the organisation to develop safe and supported implementation of their preferred peer support programme. This includes follow up support for the subsequent peer supporters.
The programme encourages a participatory and interactive approach to learning, and is delivered through a range of individual and group activities. We recognise that the PSP will should meet the needs of the organisation and that there may be particular issues that need to be addressed. If the organisation has a particular challenge courses can be tailored to meeting this.
Emotional wellbeing is vital to our everyday confidence and resilience. It is important that this is actively developed and maintained.
• CLEAR is accredited to deliver Connect 5 which was developed by Public Health England & Health Education England.
• Connect 5 promotes a self-help philosophy, through the five ways to wellbeing, of helping people to better understand, manage and improve their mental health. Sessions are very interactive, encouraging participation and open discussion.
Domestic abuse and sexual violence can impact in a myriad of ways, on our friends, family and work colleagues, including health, wellbeing and attendance at work. It is important for us all to understand the signs and provide support.
