August is a Guided Learning Month, providing structured, self‑directed CPD in place of a live workshop. This month is designed to give you protected space to consolidate learning from the first three workshops, deepen your reflective practice, and prepare for the next stage of the programme. The Guided Learning Month offers a flexible but purposeful structure, enabling you to engage independently or with peers at a pace that fits your workload. Activities draw on the programme’s core commitment to trauma‑informed, legally literate and analytically confident mental health social work.
