Wing Training
Since 2008, Wing Training has assisted over 6000 adults with mental health and wellbeing issues and/or complex barriers move into or towards, employment and recovery, as well as helping newly employed people achieve and prosper while they are in work.
Wing Training’s adopts its own, highly specialised, training tools which utilize 'Forum Theatre' teaching techniques and specialised ‘Peer to Peer’ teaching and learning, tools developed in-house over a ten-year period.
‘Forum Theatre’ is a proven method of powerfully addressing challenging issues and often used to achieve social aims. It is a form of educational workshop that encourages profound group interaction and explores different options for dealing with a key issue often difficult Forum Theatre can be particularly effective when used by socially excluded and disempowered groups.
