Take 3 Accredited Facilitators'

Take 3 is a comprehensive programme. It has been used successfully in many different contexts, including youth justice and in schools.

Take 3 refers to the three core elements of the course: nurturing young people; providing structure for young people; and self-care for parents. It is a group programme but can also be used in one-to-one work. The Take 3 pack is divided into two parts: a basic 10 session course, plus 10 extra optional sessions that deal with issues such as sex, drugs and alcohol, sibling rivalry, step-parenting, and anti-social behaviour.
