Hilla Joshi-Thompson Training Level: Foundation Level Specialist Area: Working with children and families intensively. Training Availability: Independent Trainer Main Region: Hertfordshire, London Also Covers: Nationwide Since 2003 I have worked with vulnerable children and adults. During which time I have worked in a Children's Centre in North London and within schools in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. I have been using Protective Behaviours since 2009. PBs instinctively and theoretically has been an amazing program and tool to support, change and empower. I felt so passionate about it that when I managed a team of Family Support Workers I ensured that they used Protective Behaviours in their roles and through their supervision. From Goldsmiths University I graduated with a Master degree in Anthropological Psychology. |
