Using Creativity Therapeutically Within The Classroom

Group Size: 20 people / 1 school in attendance only

2.5 hr Workshop /

5 hr Workshop

This training offers teachers and classroom assistants an opportunity through experiential learning to explore the use of creative play therapy interventions to use with individuals/groups/whole classes of children / young people ranging from those with mild emotional / social difficulties to those who have experienced severe traumas including abuse.

The day will consist of the facilitator providing background knowledge and research into how trauma impacts on the brain and learning as well as opportunities to use your creativity using different mediums: art, narrative, music, puppets, clay, sand etc. in helping children communicate.  The day will demand all participants to be actively involved and no one need worry about their artistic skills since it is the experience that matters.  Time will be given to outline how to positively respond to children’s creations/verbal expressions that will help to enhance their emotional well-being.

Led by Lisa Mc Manus, Accredited Play Therapist, Certified Filial Play Parent Coach and Clinical Director of Shine Play Therapy.
