Other workshops
During the neuroscience of anxiety workshops participants learn about the broad functions of the brain and key processes involved in anxiety. They find out about the role of anxiety, what causes anxiety to become overwhelming and ways to calm the anxiety response. Workshop content is applicable for a wide range of ages, settings and circumstances.
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM
Te aro tika ki ngā take hinengaro i ngā kura me ngā akomanga
When parents and teachers take positive approaches to teaching and learning, children’s learning and well-being is enhanced. Positive approaches create safe environments, foster secure relationships and generate purposeful activity. Participants in this workshop learn about positive psychology and some of the many ways it can be applied in children’s educational and community settings.
INTEGRATING NARRATIVE APPROACHES WITH EVERYDAY CLASSROOM PRACTICE
Te kōtui i ngā tukanga kōrero i ngā mahi akomanga o ia rangi
Children live their lives in narratives about self and identity. These narratives reflect children’s experience in their particular cultural environments and influence the way they respond to the circumstances they encounter. The workshops consider pro-active ways of supporting groups of children and individuals to develop positive narratives of self and others. They include practices that teachers and parents can integrate into their everyday interaction with children and positive methods for helping children to adjust stories that are not working for them.
