Boingboing runs workshops in Blackpool on resilience. This is part of the HeadStart Resilience Revolution to support children and young people’s mental health. Our courses are free to residents of Blackpool and practitioners who work or volunteer in Blackpool with young people aged 10-16. People outside the area can pay to come on them too. Similar courses are running in Brighton. Blackpool folk can book on those too for free. Our courses have been certified by the CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Certification Service as conforming to continuing professional development principles and so they can count towards your CPD for the year.
