This seminar is intended for anyone who works with, supports, and cares for children and youth.

Students come to school and carry with them a variety of different challenges, trauma being one of them. How each child responds and what they need will vary from child to child. Understanding this can help us plan and approach these students in more effective ways.

Child-centered Relational Play Skills Workshop

Play is the universal language of children, helping them learn to interact with the world around them through observation and performance. During this workshop, through talk and play of our own, we will learn 4 new skills; structuring, limit setting, empathetic response, and imaginary play, and come to understand a bit more about how these skills and this type of play work within the brain.

This specific type of child-centred play was created to help reduce social, emotional, and behavioural problems in children and has been proven effective in the area of anxiety, depression, trauma, aggression, attachment issues and independence skills, oppositional behaviors, inattention and hyperactivity, chronic illness and disability.

This half day workshop is designed for EA’s, youth workers, and other support staff working with children who engage in imaginary play (typically 4-12). If you find that you are spending lots of time on behaviour management this workshop is for you!

The workshop will take place Friday November 29 from 12pm-3pm.

Location TBD by number of registrations
