Coaching Academy and Coaching Network

At TLG, we are committed to pioneering new ways to effectively equip churches to better support and serve children and families.

Our Coaching Academy  is an accredited therapeutic coaching programme that trains church-based children's and youth ministry leaders and volunteers to work in transformational ways with young people, particularly those facing significant challenges, within their churches and wider communities. 

Our Coaching Network brings additional support during and beyond the Coaching Academy, providing ongoing personal development for ministry leaders and volunteers, who are part of a local church. This will include opportunities for monthly supervision, webinars, and access to a wealth of resources to help you integrate your coaching skills into your communities, whilst connecting you with a broader network of like-minded leaders.  

According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, 7% of children aged 3-17 have an anxiety disorder, and children experiencing depression are 72.7% more likely to miss church services. Additionally, churches are increasingly encountering children with neurodiverse needs, which are estimated to affect 1 in 7 children across the UK.  

Within the church, there is a growing shortage of children's and youth leaders who possess the therapeutic expertise to further support young people, leaving many church leaders feeling ill-equipped to help those facing trauma and mental health issues. Through the Coaching Academy and Network, we want to strengthen the invaluable work already being done, by broadening leaders’ skills and capabilities.

We are holding a webinar on Wednesday 19th November 10am-11am for those wanting to find out more. You can sign up here:
