Appeal to services to offer placements
Around twenty students on the Island are on their way to becoming fully qualified counsellors thanks to a service which only started on the Island in recent years.
They are training for their Level 5 qualifications via organisation 'Brighter Teaching'.
Tutor Tommy Silvester says residents have told him counselling services are 'much needed' here.
The Brighter Things founder is still on the lookout for placements for the students:
