Assertiveness
We may not be sure about what rights we actually have
Sometimes we do not realise that there is an alternative to pleasing others or being aggressive
Experiences as a child & young adult – can affect assertiveness long term
From an early age, by doing what others want us to do we are often praised.
We may lack confidence or have low self esteem.
Cultures and belief systems often discourage assertiveness.
Why don’t we assert ourselves?
Creating a positive ethos and climate

Press 2 for tears
Press 3 for getting sent out
Press 3 for getting sent out
