I recently had the privilege of completing the Power to Kids online training, and it exceeded all expectations. The eLearns were incredibly engaging and filled with practical, evidence-informed content that I was able to apply immediately in my work.
As someone with lived experience, I was particularly moved by the level of care, thought, and respect that went into developing this training. It was clear that the voices of both professionals and people with lived experience were considered every step of the way.
The team at The MacKillop Institute approached what can be a difficult topic with sensitivity and compassion, while still delivering powerful, impactful learning. I want to sincerely thank the team for delivering one of the best professional learning experiences I’ve had.
This training is an absolute must for anyone working with children. It provides you with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to make a real difference.
