The reality on the ground
It is not always easy to recognize who needs help. Educators, social care professionals, community safety staff and managers encounter these situations every day. They want to do the right thing - but do not always know how.
The gap behind the conversation
Training is acquired. And forgotten.
A 2025 study tracked professionals after training for difficult conversations: the learning effect immediately after training was 0.72 - and after half a year dropped to 0.25. Knowledge is acquired, but does not become a stable performance ability in the field.

In-Touch is designed to make practice an ongoing part of organizational learning, rather than just a one-time training event.
