Workshops for Professionals

Our workshops are hands-on and practical, and provide a range of developmentally appropriate ideas for use in therapy with preschool and primary school children and their families. Both new and experienced therapists have enjoyed learning about our creative and engaging therapy activities.  The number of participants in each workshop is limited (maximum 35).  Psychologists, school counsellors, occupational therapists, social workers, speech pathologists, family therapists, and other mental health clinicians have found our workshops helpful.

Creative Ways to Help Children Manage Emotions

Learn creative ways to help children with anxiety, anger and sadness.  This full-day workshop explores developmental and practical considerations in working therapeutically with children and families.  More experienced therapists will enjoy adding new, creative ideas and activities to their therapy toolbox.  If you have never attended one of our workshops before, then this is the ideal workshop for you!

 “The practical aspect was really high – so useful to come away with concrete ideas… This was one of the most engaging and useful workshops I’ve ever attended!” – Madeline Sibbing, Psychologist with 8 years’ experience in child work.

We’ll be running this workshop in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide in 2019!  Registrations now open for workshops in the first half of 2019 – click below for details.
