Conversation Skills 2: 

 

Please note that the participants in this module must have completed the Conversation Skills 1 module before undertaking this course. 

This PALS module follows on from the Conversation Skills 1 modules and continues to build on the foundational elements of starting, maintaining and ending a conversation.  It identifies the key building blocks of a conversation and their importance of  individual social development. This 5 module programme starts with the importance of staying on topic.

How it works:

This programme is delivered online. A weekly zoom link will be sent in advance and we would ask that the participants would log into the programme a few minutes in advance of the start. A quiet space without noise and other distractions is also conducive to getting the most from the programme.
