Third Sector Managers Forum

(Supper Club)

Being a third sector manager can be an isolating, though rewarding role. It is critical that managers and senior officers are able to provide peers support and guidance to each other. Every second month a supper club in Inverness will host a networking evening with guest speakers as appropriate and this will compliment a formal digital session with inputs and training opportunities on a quarterly basis.

A maximum of one person per organisation with management responsibility is eligible to join the forum.

This workshop is designed to give you a deeper understanding of the reasons behind our thoughts, emotions and behaviours and how we can use this to support ourselves and the children we work with.

Feeling angry is a totally normal and healthy emotion. Sometimes, though, that anger follows us home, and if we don’t know how to handle it, it can lead to arguments, upset and the breakdown of family relationships. We’ve put together an online session especially for Young People (16-25), free to join, that shares some ideas on how to react when you or someone close to you starts to get angry. ‘Understanding Anger’ streams live online and you can reserve free tickets. The session is only 45 minutes long.
