Teacher Training

I train teachers and school staff so they can understand how children's behaviour is directly linked to their psychological experiences.

Using recent developments in neuroscience as well as psychological theories, schools can ensure that mental health and wellbeing are top of their agenda which in turn helps children to be able to learn well and be happy!

Helping teachers develop strategies and systems that mean all the children in the class have their psychological needs met whilst also creating an atmosphere where learning and the enjoyment of learning is top of the agenda!

Some of the trainings that schools have requested for their staff:

  • Neuroscience - Understanding how the brain affects learning

  • Classroom management - Inspiring good behaviour without resorting to shame

  • Emotional Support - creating a school with wellbeing at the centre

Parenting Workshops

In schools

All workshops can be tailored to meet the needs of the parents at your school.

Topics can include:

  • Independence and Resilience

  • Marvellous Mornings, Brilliant Bedtimes

  • Happy Homework !

  • Connection for Co-operation

  • The Brain; Helping it to Help your Child

  • Growing strong Emotional Bonds

By learning new ways of communicating and building healthy strategies, parents can create a family life that involves lots of fun and laughter as well as children with strong self-esteem and lots of self-confidence!

(90% guarantee they will love learning… even at school!)

I trained with Noel Janis-Norton of Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting and I use her skills as a basis for my work with parents paired with 15 years experience as a psychotherapist.

  • Priscilla gave parenting workshops, weekly drop in sessions, 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!

  • "Priscilla Bacon has delivered a series of exceptional parenting workshops at Bute House. Her insightful presentations have provided parents with a valuable understanding of the brain science underlying children's behaviours. Beyond the theoretical framework, Priscilla offers practical tips and strategies that parents can immediately implement to improve interactions with their children. These workshops have fostered a calmer and more positive environment at home, leading to significant improvements in parent-child relationships. Throughout the sessions, Priscilla demonstrates empathy and understanding for the challenges of parenting, creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere for all participants.”
