Training & Development Opportunities
Peer group workshops using experiential learning to build skills in Your Own Place's accessible, equitable, asset-based and restorative approaches that encourage agency, self-reliance & independence.
Events list
For over a decade, Your Own Place has developed and delivered human, values-led approaches that create meaningful and lasting change. Our training is rooted in meeting people where they are, recognising and building on existing strengths, and creating inclusive learning environments where people feel heard, respected, and start to believe in themselves and their ability to make sustainable change.
Drawing on our experience — both in embodying these approaches and investigating why they work — we have designed a programme to introduce, explore, and provide experiential opportunities to practise these skills before embedding them in your everyday working life.
Whether you work in housing, homelessness prevention, support, health, youth work, somewhere in the wider VCSE sector, or volunteer in the community supporting people, these workshops will help you feel more confident navigating difficult conversations, building authentic relationships, and working with people in ways that increase agency, self-advocacy, and long-term resilience.
By embedding asset-based and restorative approaches into everyday practice, we believe that “helping” can move away from “doing to” or “fixing” people and instead create spaces where people feel heard, respected, and able to recognise their own strengths and choices. This can lead to stronger engagement, better outcomes, improved trust in services, and ultimately, earlier and more sustainable homelessness prevention.
