SUMMARY:WEBINAR – Resilience in our Teens™ for Parents and Anxiety Screening
DESCRIPTION:Parenting has got to be the hardest job on the planet – but it’s also the most rewarding. We are often plagued with worries as parents – will our teen do well in life\, will they be happy and safe\, how will they cope with future problems. \nBut sometimes it can seem like our teens are burdened with their own anxieties too. Everyone becomes anxious\, but how do we know if our teen’s anxiety is out of the ordinary? Sometimes it can be hard to tell if their worries are anxiety\, or just a part of normal day to day life. \nResilience In Our Teens™ is a child development course that aims to support you and your teen through the ups and downs of life. It is what we call a ‘parent-led’ approach\, meaning that you take on the role of the coach in your teen’s life\, and are able to guide them through emotionally distressing episodes. Designed & developed by psychologist\, author and teacher Michael Hawton\, it equips you with a practical and easy set of tools\, and a solid understanding of the theory behind these to enable you to build resilience in your child. \nThis course includes an anxiety screening test pre-course commencement. You will be required to fill out two short surveys before commencing the course. You will be posted a parent workbook for use during the webinar and a FREE copy of Michael Hawton’s book Engaging Adolescents. \nPlease note times are AEDT. Registrations for the webinar will close 2 weeks before the webinar start date so that we can post out your workbook. The course is presenting on one evening a week\, 6:30-8:45pm\, for three consecutive weeks. \n

SUMMARY:ECO-ANXIETY - Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Kids in a Warming World \nTeaching and counselling kids can be challenging but supporting children on a planet that’s heating up can feel downright daunting. We want to be guides and guardians as we teach children about the world around them\, and we also feel the natural instinct to protect them from threats and suffering. Climate change poses a dilemma: How can we help our children move forward with wonder and resilience while knowing that our warming world will likely impose tremendous difficulties in their future? This workshop offers effective coping for climate-triggered distress oriented for children and young people\, which can be adapted to other age groups. \nAlthough the environmental and physical effects of climate change have long been recognised\, little attention has been given to the profound negative impact on mental health. Leslie Davenport presents comprehensive theory\, strategies and resources for addressing key clinical themes specific to the psychological impact of climate change on young people. She explores the psychological underpinnings that have contributed to the current global crisis\, and offers robust therapeutic interventions for dealing with anxiety\, stress\, depression\, trauma and other clinical mental health conditions resulting from environmental damage and disaster. \nThe workshop will include PowerPoint slides with didactics\, dyads\, small group experiential practice\, and in-depth discussion with Q/A. To create context\, there will be a brief overview of climate science and climate psychology theory\, but the emphasis will be on provide evidence-based\, age-appropriate tools and activities that can be immediately applied in a variety of settings which supports kid’s curiosity and helps them build emotional resilience as their climate-change awareness grows. \nThe workshop will cover: \n\nKey terms\, issues and statistics.\nWhy climate-oriented emotional resilience is essential.\nA developmental context for appropriate approaches.\nThe need for trauma-informed perspectives.\nWhat is emotional resilience – a new definition.\nExploring climate emotions.\nUnderstanding the developing brain and climate-oriented emotional intelligence. The importance of co-regulation (Polyvagal therapy) and cognitive biases.\nThe intersection of social and environmental justice. Empowering youth leaders and youth movements with intergenerational support.\nAdapting climate resilience principles and practices to the counselling office\, classroom\, and other settings.\nEmotional resiliency tools\n\nPresented by: Leslie Davenport who works as a climate psychology educator and consultant\, integrating social science insights into relevant resources for organisations often exploring the intersectionality of climate\, economics\, education\, policy\, and social justice. She helped shape the document: “Mental Health and Our Changing Climate: Impacts\, Implications\, and Guidance.” She is the author of four books\, including Emotional Resiliency in the Era of Climate Change for the mental health field\, and All the Feelings Under the Sun: How to Deal with Climate Change\, written for middle school kids. Leslie is on faculty with the California Institute of Integral Studies\, Master’s program in Professional Psychology and Health and is co-lead of their Climate Psychology Certification training. She serves as an advisor to the climate non-profits Climate Mental Health Network\, Integrative Healing Action Network\, and One Resilient Earth. \n

SUMMARY:Theraplay Level 1 & MIM - Melbourne
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). \nMaximum 24 participants. \nTRAINERS \n

SUMMARY:PICTURE THIS - Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:Harnessing the Therapeutic Power of Genograms \nThis workshop will open up the enormous possibilities and potential of the genogram as a process for both assessment\, and intervention. Widely used by family therapists and all health care professionals\, the genogram is a graphic way of organising the mass of information gathered during a family assessment and finding patterns in the family system for more targeted treatment. Yet many practitioners commonly complete only a very basic genogram and file it away\, never to be looked at again by them (or their client). This is a major loss especially with complex cases. Done correctly a genogram interview is a powerful assessment tool giving you more detailed understanding of case presentations and how to plan targeted interventions. \nTo understand what it is that brings a person to seek help\, it’s essential to consider how each person is inextricably interwoven within broader interactional and contextual systems\, the most fundamental of which is family.  Family is a principle influence in shaping who a person is\, how they relate to others\, and how they react or respond to life’s predictable stages and changes (e.g.\, marriage\, starting a family\, teenage years\, aging parents)\, as well as unplanned challenges (e.g.\, divorce\, remarriage\, infertility\, untimely death\, trauma).  This is an important consideration regardless of the family structure people come from\, but especially so if clients have an experience of removal from their biological family to foster\, kinship or residential care. \nFamily diagrams (or genograms) provide a picture of who a person is\, where they come from\, who matters in their life\, and how they belong in the world; as well as providing a framework for understanding present stressors\, past struggles and strengths and resources.  It goes beyond a traditional family tree allowing practitioners to visualise patterns and psychological factors that affect relationships. This “picture” representation of a client’s family context enables practitioners to organise and hold in mind the complexity of a client’s context (family history\, patterns\, events) and their strengths in order to collaboratively identify pathways to healing and promote recovery.  Genograms provide a rich and powerful tool for engagement\, enhancing the therapeutic alliance\, assessment\, treatment planning\, and can be used as a therapeutic intervention in itself. \nBy completion of this workshop participants will have highly effective tools that can be used with all clients and their families/carers/other professionals involved. The Workshop will include the following areas: \n\nThe place of genogram work within Systemic Family Therapy\nCore systemic concepts related to genogram work\nHow to create a genogram and graphically organise information gathered in an assessment session\nHow to conduct a genogram interview and how to share the genogram with your client\nTracking family patterns through time and space\nInterpreting and working with family structure\nAssessing family patterns and functioning\, including relational patterns and triangles\nConsideration of the Family Life Cycle\nMental Health implications\nA Strengths based approach to genograms\nUsing genograms as assessment\, to plan intervention and as an intervention\nCreative approaches to creating and working with genograms\nGenograms for Young People in Out of Home Care\n\nREVIEWS \nPresented by: Dr Leonie White a Psychologist and Clinical Family Therapist with 20 years experience including work with children\, adults\, families\, foster families\, residential care providers\, teachers and other therapists\, in Health\, Education\, and Child Protection Services as well as in the Non-Government sector and Private Practice.
