SUMMARY:Just Right State\, Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:The JRS programme is for working with school aged children and their parents\, to enhance awareness of their own emotional states and behaviour\, and how this impacts on parent/ child emotional states and engagement patterns. JRS looks at the use of sensory activities and foods\, to help children learn how to self regulate their emotional states and behaviour. It also uses cartoon characters called ‘The Scared Gang’ which represents the different survival and attachment patterns of behaviour. The different characters tell the children how they react to situations and what each of them does to achieve the ‘just-right state’. The goal of the programme is to enable children become more emotionally aware of themselves and of others\, to give them simple tools to enable them to self regulate and achieve the just right state\, whether it is to engage in academic learning\, interacting with their peers\, or to be able to get a good night’s sleep. \nParents learn how to regulate their child from sensory and attachment perspectives. The aim of the programme is to enhance parents’ awareness of their own engagement patterns and how this impacts on their child’s emotional states. It also addresses the underlying reasons for behaviours. Parents first complete a sensory-attachment profile questionnaire that looks at the survival\, sensory\, and attachment behaviours of their child. They learn about; the different levels of self- regulation (physiological\, sensory\, emotional\, and cognitive); the regulating effects of food and activities; and how to create an enriched environment that is tailor made both for them and their child’s sensory-attachment needs. \nChildren are seen in groups of four to six for one hour fifteen minutes once a week. Two facilitators carry out this programme due to the practical elements involved. Parents of the children attending the JRS programme meet together for two hours once a week for six weeks. It runs in parallel to their children’s programme. The children’s facilitators also lead the parents’ programme. \n* This course is limited to 16 places * Attendees must have completed the Sensory Attachment Intervention: Level 1 (delivered by Compass in Aug 2015 or by SAI in the UK) \n

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Practices for Complex Behaviours\, Gold Coast
DESCRIPTION:Despite its inherent joys\, the challenges of parenting can produce considerable stress. These challenges multiply — and the quality of parenting can suffer — when a child displays complex behaviours associated with ADHD or autism. Even under optimal circumstances\, the constant challenges faced by these children can contribute to family conflict and tax parents’ inner resources\, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. \nChildren with ADHD or autism\, and their families\, face many unique daily challenges such as inattention\, hyperactivity\, and impulsivity\, which affect self-management and self-regulation. These families can become chronically frustrated or stressed out\, which makes achieving a range of tasks in school or family life that much harder. For professionals working with such families these stressors can often impact the effectiveness of interventions or therapeutic goals underscoring the need for parents to take care of themselves in order to meet the challenges of caring for a child with complex needs with calmness\, kindness\, and consistency. \nMindfulness practices have enjoyed great success with managing mental health issues such as anxiety\, depression and trauma. In recent years these practices have been applied to people with complex disorders such as ADHD and autism with similar success. Drawing from a standardized nine-session program this introductory workshop explores effective Mindfulness practices for helping both parents and children with complex behaviours to stay cool and collected while remaining compassionate\, flexible\, resilient\, and mindful. Delivered in a reassuring style and with opportunities to view and practice exercises for both parents and children. \nYou will learn: \n\nHow to conceptualise complex disorders such as ADHD and autism in a Mindfulness framework\nWhat adaptations to traditional mindful practices are required for children with ADHD/autism\nHow to work with groups of children or young people with ADHD or autism\nHow to instruct Mindful Parenting exercises to parents\nAbout the scientific evidence for mindfulness practices for children with ADHD/autism and their parents\nHow to work with children and parents together in a mindfulness training\nWhy integrating mindfulness practices can strengthen the efficacy of your other interventions.\n\nThis workshop is suitable for all professionals working with families affected by the challenges of complex behaviours associated with disorders such as ADHD and autism. \nDr Esther de Bruin is an Associate Professor at the Research Institute of Child Development and Education at the University of Amsterdam\, as well as a licensed health care psychologist and mindfulness trainer for children at UvA minds\, an academic outpatient treatment center for children and families in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands. She completed her PhD in studies of children with autism and psychotic disorders. Her current research relates to evaluating newly developed mindfulness trainings\, specifically for children with ADHD and autism and their families. \n
