Welcome to SACCS - we believe quality counts when it comes to providing services for traumatised children and young people and our work focuses directly on children and their needs, helping them to recover, giving them a voice and preparing them for the future.
Training & Conferences
Life Story Training
Based on the SACCS Life Story, the training uses exercises and pragmatic tasks to assist the delegate in carrying out successful life story work with their service users.
