SUMMARY:THERAPLAY:  Level One & MIM
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 \nTheraplay® has been used successfully to help: \nChildren with developmental trauma\nShy\, withdrawn children\nOveractive\, controlling or aggressive children\nFoster/adoptive children with attachment difficulties\nChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorder &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 \nYou will learn: \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 \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). \nTHERAPLAY BOOKS & RESOURCES \n

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing- An introduction
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest challenges facing staff who work with individuals\, couples\, families and young people is working with individuals who may act in a way that puts themselves or others at risk. This could be in the short term through aggression to others or self-harm or in the long term through an unwillingness to seek professional support when needed\, use of tobacco\, alcohol or other substances\, poor diet or lack of physical activity. \nMotivational interviewing is a counselling method that involves enhancing a client’s motivation to change by connecting with the client empathically and helping the client understand any ambivalence the may have towards change and\, where possible\, help the client form a plan to achieve the change they desire. \nMotivational interviewing encourages the helper to work in a respectful\, empowering and non-judgemental way and not push the client towards change that they are not presently ready or able to achieve. \nMotivational interviewing is a highly structured and efficient intervention and\, once mastered\, can be used with variety of client groups. \nMotivational interviewing has been found to be effective in helping people parent more effectively; seek professional assistance when needed; adopt healthy behaviours; reduce use of harmful substances; overcome problems in the expression of anger and; reduce problem gambling. \nWhile motivational interviewing is a very powerful\, simple and effective intervention there are some situations where it should not be used and these will be discussed in the workshop. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nUnderstand the principles of Motivational Interviewing\nLearn simple techniques to promote positive change in clients.\nUnderstand when not to use Motivational Interviewing\n\n  \nWho should Attend \n\nThis workshop will benefit anyone who works in a setting where they are involved in helping young people and adults make positive change in their lives.\n\n  \n
