Specialised Courses for Professionals and Parents and Carers
The Regulation Tool-Kit
Restoring calm for the overwhelmed child
4 Part Online Training Course Course Fee: €150 Starting Wednesday 22nd April, 3pm-4:30pm
|
This innovative course, which runs over four weekly sessions, explores creative tools to support and foster co-regulation and self-regulation. Developmentally appropriate, supportive therapeutic tools are presented, practiced and explored. The course focuses on using materials commonly found at home and basic art materials to support regulation and restore calm for the overwhelmed child or adolescent. Key techniques are introduced and demonstrated by the trainer and participants have opportunities to practice using these therapeutic approaches themselves. We explore how anxiety, and other big feelings, impact on the brain and behaviour. We focus on developing new skills and providing creative approaches to calm the brain, ground the body and foster more adaptive behaviours. The course is designed to equip professionals, and parents and carers, with tools for themselves and the children and teenagers they support and care for.
Each session begins with breathing and calming techniques followed by a focus on a particular area.
Regulation through:
|
- Art and Drawing
- Nature
- Movement
- Sensory tools
Participants are required to have the following tools.
Space and technology:
· Sound cancelling headset or confidential room to participate in
· A computer or other suitable device (e.g. i pad), ideally, but not essentially, with built in (or external) microphone, speaker and camera.
· Uninterrupted internet connection
Note: Please only use one devise during each session – if you have difficulties with sound (microphone or volume) on computer, use of external microphone and/or speakers works better than adding a second devise.
And if possible, creative materials that include:
|
- A4 paper and a scissors
- Art material - e.g. crayons, colouring pencils, markers
- Balloons (if possible) and other basic household materials
Before the training, participants will receive handouts that they can print to use in the training. All participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Course Dates: 22nd April, 29th April, 6th May, 13th May
Session Times: Wednesday 3pm-4:30pm
Course Fee: €150
