Bath Spa University and EHCAP – a Somerset based social enterprise - are working together to provide Emotion Coaching Training to the children and young people’s workforce in Somerset. The training is based on Bath Spa’s Attachment Aware Schools Programme and both organisations’ work on emotion coaching, inspired by Professor John Gottman’s research in the USA. We will train 20 champions in each of the five districts to take on leadership roles within their own organisations and across services working with professionals and young people to increase everyone’s understanding of emotional health and wellbeing and to enable a better appreciation of when and how to refer on for help. Dr Janet Rose and Richard Parker currently work within Bath Spa University while Dr Sarah Temple is a GP working in South Somerset who leads EHCAP .
