SUMMARY:Theraplay Level 1 & MIM - Cairns
DESCRIPTION:Theraplay Level 1 & MIM\nTheraplay® is an evidenced-based\, attachment-focused intervention utilising non-symbolic\, interactional play to re-create experiences of secure attachment formation between parent and child. Therapist-guided short-term\, dyadic therapy focuses on improving the child’s behavioural and emotional challenges through the parent-child relationship. In a session\, the therapist guides the parent and child through playful games\, challenging activities\, and nurturing interactions. Theraplay® helps the child experience previously difficult interactions in new ways\, helps overcome fear/ shame\, increase trust\, and create a positive change in the child’s sense of self. Theraplay® helps the parent be attuned to the child\, understand the motives of the child’s behaviour and the underlying needs\, manage environmental stimuli\, and carefully challenge their child in a safe place. While other therapies may work primarily with the child alone or work with parents on managing the child’s behaviours\, Theraplay® has shown that the parent-child relationship is the most powerful and influential element for change. It is also a complementary approach to Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (developed by Dan Hughes). \nTheraplay® has been used successfully to help: \n\nChildren with developmental trauma\nShy\, withdrawn children\nOveractive\, controlling or aggressive children\nFoster/adoptive children with attachment difficulties\nChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorder & Pervasive Development Disorder\nChildren with physical disabilities\, developmental delays or those who are non-verbal\nChildren who live in group settings\nEarly childhood students and others who receive services in group settings\n\nYou will learn: \n\nHistory\, core concepts & evidence base of Theraplay®\nThe four dimensions of Theraplay®: Structure\, Engagement\, Nurture & Challenge. Undertake activities for each of the dimensions\nAdminister the Marshack Interaction Method (MIM) & analyse it at a beginning level\nConduct feedback sessions with parents based upon the MIM analysis\nUse the MIM as a guideline for Theraplay® treatment planning\nObserve demonstrations of Theraplay® treatment and techniques\nPractice Theraplay® activities in dyads\nIdentify the types of behaviours that require a particular dimension\nUtilise the four Theraplay® dimensions to treat the specific needs of a child\nHow Theraplay® is applied to meet the needs of children with behaviour problems\, foster and adopted children\, children with ASD\, & older children\nHow to guide parents to participate in a Theraplay® treatment session\n\nThis four-day workshop is for practitioners wanting to use Theraplay® Informed Practice in their work and is suitable for practitioners working with children and families ranging from Psychologists\, Psychiatrists\, Social Workers\, Clinical Counsellors\, Family Therapists\, Counsellors\, Play Therapists\, Special Education & Early Childhood Specialists\, Teachers\, Occupational Therapists\, Speech and Language Therapists\, Residential Care Workers and Foster Support Workers. \nParticipants are referred to the Theraplay® book which underpins the approach (and advised to read chapters 1\, 2 & 4 prior to attending). \n
