Training

Supporting people through life's biggest transitions.
Successful transitions don't happen by chance. They happen through planning, collaboration and shared understanding.
 

Circletalk provides 90 minute tailored Transition Planning workshops to help individuals, families and organisations prepare for one of life's biggest changes: the transition from education to adult life.
 

Each workshop introduces practical transition planning strategies and includes an introduction to the Circletalk platform. Participants are invited to continue their planning with an optional 30 day free trial.
 

Every transition is different.

Turning 18 is an important milestone, but readiness for adult life is not defined by age alone.

Every person's experience is different. Confidence, independence, communication, support needs and life experience all develop at different times.
 

Our workshops help participants and families prepare for their next step with greater confidence, shared understanding and practical planning.
