This course is an introduction to Emotion Coaching and it’s practical application in schools

Based on research by American Psychologist John Gottman, Emotion Coaching uses moments of heightened emotion and resulting behaviour to guide and teach the child and young person about more effective responses.

Through 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 session will be lead by Katherine Mahony.

The session will be lead by Chris Webb.

ELSA Plus : Lego Therapy training : Day 2 (of 2 - Day 1 20 October)

Building with Lego bricks is a multi-sensory, open-ended and often very motivating play experience for children.  It harnesses children's motivation for Lego in order to improve their social skills via structured group activities.

This approach can be used with any children with social skills difficulties, including those with Autism.

Lego Based Therapy has a growing evidence base and groups are now popping up all over the world.  Several research studies in the UK and the USA have found that Lego Based Therapy groups can help develop and reinforce a range of play skills and social skills, such as verbal and non-verbal communication, collaborative problem solving, turn taking, sharing and joint attention skills. 

Over the 2 sessions you will learn the skills needed to run your own Lego Therapy Club in your school.  Both sessions must be attended 

COST : £95 per delegate (2 sessions)

See attached Lego Therapy leaflet for more information.
