Grounded in two years of ethnographic research and in exclusive partnership with the University of Birmingham and Sandwell Children’s Trust (SCT), RIVRT immerses learners in a powerful 11-month journey with a fictional family, exploring how practitioners can overcome relational challenges and create positive change.

  Structured over two days and seven modules, this experiential training allows participants to experience what research has found leads to ‘barriers’ and ‘enablers’ in developing effective relationship-based practices, by offering a front-row seat to the subtle nuances which can impact outcomes for all involved. Using immersive VR scenarios, participants will build empathy, develop resilience, and understand effective communication and decision-making skills, all in a safe, controlled environment.
