SUMMARY:Emotion Coaching – Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Watch video \n\nPromoting Positive Behaviour\, Wellbeing and Resilience \nEmotion Coaching is a universal communication strategy based on research by US Psychologist Dr John Gottman (1996) which supports children and young people to self-regulate and manage their stress responses. Gottman observed that children who thrive in their emotional and social development have parents who respond positively to the behaviour of the children\, who helped their child to understand the different emotions they experience\, why they occur and how to handle them. These children were better able to control their impulses and delay gratification\, self soothe when upset\, have better attentional capacity and increased motivation\, performed better academically and were better able to function in social relationships. \nExtensive research has established the characteristics of adult responses that lead to emotional health in children. Emotion Coaching (EC) uses moments of heightened emotion and resulting behaviour to guide and teach the child and young person about more effective responses. Inappropriate behaviours are not condoned in Emotion Coaching and when the child is calmer\, incidents are discussed in a more rational and productive manner.  Moves are made to problem solve and engage in solution-focused strategies. Through repetitive\, consistent and empathetic engagement the child’s emotional state is verbally acknowledged and validated\, promoting a sense of security and feeling ‘felt’.  This activates changes in the child’s neurological system and allows the child to calm down\, physiologically and psychologically. The key elements involved in Emotion Coaching are: \n\nBecoming aware of the child’s emotions\nRecognising the emotion as an opportunity for intimacy and teaching\nListening empathetically\, validating the child’s feelings\nHelping the child find words to label the emotion\nSetting limits and explore strategies to solve the problem at hand.\n\nThese strategies can be learned by parents and indeed anyone who interacts with children young people when they struggle to control their emotional responses. Emotion Coaching has been shown to be highly successful in schools (primary and secondary) and community settings. Research by Emotion Coaching UK (ECUK) took Gottman’s five elements of Emotion Coaching and developed a school friendly program that uses a four step framework to help engender emotional resilience\, empathy and problem-solving skills within children and young people. Following successful pilot projects in UK schools\, Emotion Coaching has now been communicated to education professionals\, health and social care workers\, educational psychologists and GPs in the UK\, Europe\, Asia and Australia. \nThe workshop includes evidence-based research and practical tips\, with signposting to resources\, case studies and vignettes to illustrate its practical application in parenting support and educational settings. It supports adults to promote empathetic responses to challenging behaviours and situations\, helping children and young people to understand their emotions and learn to manage them and their behaviour in the longer-term. The workshop covers the following: \n\nCritical overview of recent neuroscientific evidence on how best to support children and young people’s self-regulation\nInsights into the stress-response and social engagement systems\, attachment and the foundations for emotional regulation\, positive behaviour and well-being\nResearch for evidence-based Emotion Coaching practice\nPractical exercises and skill development in Emotion Coaching techniques\n\nIncluded in the price of the workshop is the opportunity to attend a subsequent online coaching workshop ‘‘Reflecting on your Emotion Coaching Practice’. These workshops usually take place within a month of the initial training\, allowing participants to ‘have had a go’. The 1.5 hour workshops via Zoom offer participants the chance to: \n\nShare successes and challenges of using Emotion Coaching (EC)\nEngage in discussions to develop EC in practice\nReview personal and collective EC understanding\nExplore the complexities and challenges of EC\n\nPresenter: Licette Gus\, co-founder of Emotion Coaching UK is an Educational Psychologist and Secondary School Teacher with over 20 years’ experience working for government and the private sector across the Australia and the United Kingdom (UK).  Licette coordinated the evaluation of the Targeting Mental Health in Schools (TaMHS) one for local authority in the UK. Licette has delivered presentations on Emotion Coaching for national and international conferences as well as Professional Development Events across the UK and has been a guest presenter on the Educational Psychology Professional Training Course at the University of Birmingham and the MA course at Oxford Brookes University.  She has delivered Emotion Coaching training and projects to schools parents and organisations in the UK and internationally. She has researched applying Emotion Coaching in educational settings\, written about how to implement Emotion Coaching in Schools and the impact of Emotion Coaching on pupil\, staff and family well-being for various publications in the UK. Licette is co-author of Emotion Coaching with Children and Young People in Schools \nDOWNLOAD FLIER \n\n

SUMMARY:PICTURE THIS – Toowoomba
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.
