More recently, staff have been noticing how empathic the learners are being towards each other and staff members too. The learners are creating stronger bonds and friendships with each other and beginning to consider each other’s feelings a lot more. Sanctuary Staff are so pleased to see this, as we know that empathy is the key to connection with others.

At The Sanctuary, we know that when learners create those healthy attachments with other learners and staff, their mental wellbeing will flourish and they will be more likely to create those attachments as they grow up.

These empathy glasses encourage learners to consider other people’s feelings and actions.
