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 \nTheraplay® has been used successfully to help:\nChildren with developmental trauma\nShy\, withdrawn children\nOveractive\, controlling or aggressive children\nFoster/adoptive children with attachment difficulties\nChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorder &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:Blend & Balance: Working with 'opposite' dynamics
DESCRIPTION:BLEND IT…is a workshop about a process of working with people\, whether that’s with groups\, families or individuals. And it’s about a process which balances humour with serious\, the playful with the intense\, challenge with support\, questioning with acceptance\, noisy with quiet\, movement with stillness… \nThese dynamics of opposite create an atmosphere of the unusual; of juxtaposition\, of paradox\, of contrast and comparison; which bring into sharp relief what is and what could be. The ‘softer’ and ‘lighter’ aspects of these dynamics create relationship and connection; and an openness to experience the new\, the fresh\, the adventurous; both within ourselves and with the world around us. When standing next to the more challenging aspects\, they create readiness and receptivity in hearts and minds – the chance to review self and life and embrace fully what is\, or to explore what might be. Sounds a bit fanciful- it’s also true. \nExplore the core elements of: \n\n\n\n\n\nEngagement\nReadiness\nReceptivity\nAnd to locate these within Individual and Group processes\, both educative and therapeuticExplore enabling concepts of:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJuxtaposition\nParadox\nContrast\nComparison\nContradictionWithin the above process to:\nExperience strategies\, suitable for individual\, group and family interactions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
