The DESTY Island Social and Emotional Wellbeing programme is based on research which highlights the importance for a child to develop a number of supportive, stable and committed relationships in his or her life.

As part of your training you will learn how to listen and communicate more effectively with children and how to guide them through the DESTY Island programme where they will learn about themselves, their feelings and how to harness their feelings especially when dealing with difficult life events.

Each child pass includes a DESTY Teddy and My DESTY Island Adventure Workbook for each child.
