Introduction:
A therapeutic treasure box of tools, techniques, and further understanding for how to support children and adolescents (adults and ourselves) with anxiety, worries, fears, and stress- including with a spotlight on emotional regulation
We are delighted to have Dr Karen Treisman back this year to facilitate a full two days workshop on Anxiety. This workshop is supplementary to previous events facilitated by Dr Karen Tresiman but no prior knowledge is necessary. This is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Social care Ireland(SCI), The Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland (AOTI); The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists (IASLT); Irish Association of Social Workers (IASW) and the Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute (INDI). It is funded by the National Health and Social Care Professionals Office within the HSE, priority is for those employed in publicly funded health care settings.
Course Overview:
This 2-day course will be an opportunity to learn about some creative, physical, sensory, and cognitive ways of supporting children and adolescents (and adults and ourselves) with feelings of anxiety, stress, worries, and fears. Anxiety, stress, and fear are very common and prevalent; even more so in the current context of the pandemic. So, feeling more skilled and confident in this area is hugely beneficial. This course draws on tools and ideas from the award winning and best-selling Therapeutic treasure Box book, and from the anxiety workbook by Dr Karen Treisman “Binnie the Baboon”. The course will include some Cognitive Behavioural, Narrative Therapy, Creative Therapies, and Sensory ideas. There will be lots of photo examples, tangible worksheets, and stories about the real-world work. Metaphors such as a worry wall, a worry web, a worry wizard, and a worry warrior will be discussed. The course will be jam packed with some theories and background information; as well as loads of ideas and practical suggestions which can be implemented in daily practice personally and professionally. There will also be a range of tools taught around emotional regulation such as breathing, relaxation, and grounding strategies. Although this course will be virtual, it will be informal and creative- with lots of interaction and times for breaks and a long lunch.
