ABLE students as you build your hairdressing skill ABLE students as you build your hairdressing skills & confidence skills you will also build your communication skills as you meet a variety of clients. Conversations flow in the salon and include many subjects including grief & bereavement. I’m proud to have been appointed as Honorary Patron for an amazing charity called @slideawaycharity who help children and young people through the terrors of grief & bereavement which includes training for schools. Having lost my dad when I was a teenager I know so well the fear, anger and emotion and with the right support it could have been easier for me. Soon we will be sharing some training guidance for you on this subject which will help you help others. #havingtherightconversation #communicationskillstraining
