Face-to-face communications Some experts claim that face-to-face is the only true form of communication. It is certainly the oldest and the one that is most hard-wired into human beings brains.

Missing out Without face-to-face communication, it is easy to miss the message because a lot of the information that we get when we communicate is from non-verbal cues such as: posture and body language tone of voice facial expressions

One-to-one or one-to-many Face-to-face communication, whether one-to- one or one-to-many, also provides good opportunities for two-way exchanges of thoughts, opinions, feelings and ideas.

How must we…… Talk to clients and show them that we can listen empathetically ? care? support them with their problems?

Dear Teens for Teens I am very concerned about the recent YouGov survey of almost 2,000 British teens. This survey found that out of all the teens they interviewed those that: have had sex under the age of consent = 66% have had a sexual experience aged 13 or younger = 20% having had sex without a condom =50% do not know that there is no cure for Aids=17% It is urgent that you get young people into your centre and educate them as soon as possible. They really need your help.They need helpful dialogue and an opportunity for guidance, a place where they can think and make wise and careful decisions.
