Educational psychotherapy is a highly effective way of supporting children with emotional and behavioural barriers to learning which hold back their educational and social development.Training in educational psychotherapeutic approaches can help people concerned with the emotional development of children to

  • broaden and deepen their awareness and understanding of the social and emotional factors affecting pupil learning and behaviour
  • develop insight into what children are communicating
  • develop therapeutic practice in the classroom
  • develop reflective practice and an enhanced supportive ethos within the staff group and across interdisciplinary boundaries

Our outreach training programme can help schools achieve or maintain their National Healthy School Status and Every Child Matters outcomes.

Therapeutic groups in primary schools

December 18th, 2010
Venue: TBC

Therapeutic groups in primary schools provide a safe, secure environment that offers support for children’s positive emotional and social growth. They provide opportunities for social learning through co-operation and play and emphasize the development of communication and language through interactions with their peers and adults.

This presentation will look at how therapeutic groups can help teachers and school staff promote the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children in schools in addition to how to set up a group. It will give delegates a thorough understanding of the characteristics of therapeutic groups and showcase a variety of different therapeutic group activities. Ref: CFS17

Effect of trauma on learning

March 19th, 2011
Venue: TBC

Research documenting the effects of trauma on learning and behaviour is both widespread and consistent in its descriptions of the cognitive and behavioural impact of exposure to trauma. Early childhood trauma can alter the way we view ourselves, the world around us and the way we behave and respond to our
environment. Appropriate intervention can help to enable healthy learning. This presentation will help school staff and others develop the skills and experience to help traumatised children to learn more effectively. Ref: CFS18

The school as an organisation

- its impact on children and learning

June 25th, 2011

Venue: TBC

Schools provide much more than academic learning opportunities for children. They are often the first place where children socialise outside of their immediate family and come into contact with authority figures who are not their parents/carers. Each school develops its own distinctive ethos which impacts on teachers and children. Looking at the dynamics of organisations can help school staff to understand the feelings generated in the workplace and how they in turn impact on children’s learning. Ref: CFS19
