Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA)
Training Courses and Supervision
Like Educators, our goal is to make a positive difference to young minds. It is widely recognised that children learn better and feel happier in school when their emotional needs are met. Our ELSA training courses in Hertfordshire equip Teaching Assistants to develop and deliver individualised support programmes that achieve this.
All ELSA training and supervision at The Child Psych is overseen by Dr. Pippa Busch, a contributor to ELSA Network training resources alongside ELSA founder Sheila Burton..
