Our Academy
In the Little Lions Academy we educate and employ local role models as mental health coaches in the community they are living in. This 12-week program combines the training of practical skills with theory taught by experts with a psychology/coaching background.
Mental health coaches that have walked through life in the same shoes as the children.
During 12 sessions candidates go through the Academy in which they are trained as mental health coaches. They learn the most important psychology basics, get facilitator training and learn all the Little Lions workshops by heart.
