Priscilla
Bacon

Priscilla gave a number of parenting workshops, weekly drop in sessions for parents, and staff training - all of which had great impact, promoted discussion, fostered awareness and caused attitude change. She is insightful, empathetic and informative whether it be to groups of parents, staff, children or one to one. She has an overwhelmingly positive and calm persona and a rich knowledge which she draws on consistently, to aid the journey(s) of those she works with. She is a highly valuable asset - every school should have a Priscilla!

“The training Priscilla provided was absolutely fantastic. The sessions were full of helpful practical advice, presented incredibly well, and were both engaging and informative. We are so grateful for the generous time given to training our volunteers, and we know that the strategies and tips shared will make a real difference not just for the families we currently support, but for future families as well. The sessions covered a wide range of parenting topics and provided our volunteers with valuable tools to help them in their work. Thank you for this invaluable training!”

Priscilla supported staff and parents at our school through the Wellbeing Service that she built for our community. An important part of the service was helping parents to help their children with their learning experience: emotionally and behaviourally. She also provided systems for outside school behaviour and building strong relationships. The talks Priscilla held at school enabled parents to access support when they needed it most such as; bereavement, family break-ups, sibling squabbles and a lack of self-esteem and confidence. Priscilla supervised a team of therapists who worked 1:1 with our children and she worked with and trained our staff helping them to understand the emotional needs of the children and building healthy classroom behaviour strategies. Our school were introduced to ‘Watch and Wonder’ empathy and emotional literacy intervention by Priscilla, supporting all the children in our school. Priscilla was a valued member of our team and we miss having her here!
