THE TRAINING PROJECT
Overview
In this project you are required to submit a training proposal to offer a positive psychology training programme that is tailored to a particular group selected from one of the case studies below (or from an organisation detailed in your own case study), addressing its specific needs.
The assignment paper should include 5 key sections:
1. A description of the chosen client group and an assessment of the needs of this group drawn from the literature.
This should be roughly 1,700 words.
2. A detailed training programme that is geared to address the needs of the client group. The training programme should offer details of the contents as well as how the training will be delivered.
This should also be roughly 2,700 words.
3. A leaflet (up to 2 sides of an A4 paper – 600 words) that aims to attract potential participants. It should briefly describe who the target group is and offer details of the training and contact details.
4. A reference list (of works cited in the proposal). This is not included in the word count.
5. A reflective account (up to 150 words) detailing your experience of conducting this assignment. This is not included in the word count.
All components should be included in one document.
