D is for Directions: A Guide to Running Confidence Building Courses for Men of All Ages Book

This manual is aimed at groupwork facilitators working with men, particularly in welfare and justice contexts such has: youth and community work, social work, youth offending, prisons and probation. It contains exercises that are designed to: unlock doorways to better self knowledge and understanding; encourage the sharing of experiences with others; and offer a range of life skill tools which promote self-acceptance and increase inner confidence. "D is for Directions" is from the same team who wrote "C is for Confidence", a manual for working with women. This manual has been designed as a "pick up and use" tool. Depending on your needs as a course facilitator, you can follow the manual's approach to confidence building from start to finish, or you can dip in and pull out exercises that are appropriate to your group. By using this material, you should be able to develop a programme in which participants challenge themselves, taking each step towards personal development as steadily as is comfortable for them.Read More
