Behaviour management can often feel like a power struggle between you and your pupils. In this short webinar, we will present the 4 Cs pathway - a journey of moving from working against your pupils to working in collaboration with your pupils in pursuit of a calmer classroom.

​

Who should attend?

This webinar has been designed for class teachers (primary and secondary), SENCos, learning mentors and teaching assistants, Senior Leadership staff and other educational professionals.

Following on from the success of our Wellbeing Toolkit for Mental Health Leads one day training, we will be providing a series of three webinars from 'The Wellbeing Toolkit for Mental Health Leads' by Dr Tina Rae, Dr Amy Such and Dr Jo Wood.

In schools, we know some of our children are struggling alone with emotional experiences. We also know that children need adults to show they understand what is going on for them, so that they are supported when things are difficult in their lives. But how can we best open these conversations with the children in our care? 

​

It can be hard for adults to find their way through our cultural conditioning which says it is better not to ‘open a can of worms’, so that children can come forward and speak about what is going on for them.  

​

This webinar will consider what holds us back from opening conversations with children and will consider sensitive ways to help them share their feelings with us. 

This panel discussion will focus on societal standards and the impact that might have on children and young people's wellbeing if they feel that they do not fit in.

​

The panel will consist of Dr Kathryn Gibb (Educational & Child Psychologist), Dr Anisa-Ree Moses (Educational & Child Psychologist) & Dr Amy Such (Educational & Child Psychologist).

Emotion coaching provides a structure to supporting children and young people with the development of their emotional literacy skills. Through the 5 step approach, emotion coaching helps children to recognise their emotions, to connect with adults, to feel listened to and respected, to label emotions and to practise problem solving skills.

​

This webinar will introduce the theory that underpins emotion coaching and will provide an overview of how emotion coaching looks in practice.

Are you new to the role of School Mental Health Lead?  Are you wanting some ideas and support so you can excel in this important role?   

This course will offer you a wealth of ideas for how to support mental health in your setting.  It will provide you with a copy of The Wellbeing Toolkit for Mental Health Leads by Tina Rae, Amy Such and Jo Wood (rrp £124.99) which you can use flexibly to respond to your school's needs.  Through this, the course is designed to increase confidence and support staff in preparing for their new role as School Mental Health Lead. 

 
During the course, guest keynote speaker Dr Tina Rae will address some of the key topics of interest regarding mental health in schools, plus delegates will have the opportunity to delve deeper into four of the 20 modules covered within the Wellbeing Toolkit.  These include:

• Self-harm: Issues of prevention and safe practice 

• Understanding & Supporting Children & Young People who are School Phobic 

• Understanding Attachment Disorders & Creating an Attachment Friendly Classroom 

• Using Tools from Positive Psychology to Build Resilience 

Do you work within an Early Years setting?  Do you have an interest in autism and child development?

​

This is another chance to access the training that Dr Amy Such provided at the Early Years Conference in Kent, back in February 2020.  This webinar focuses on the presentation of autism within the female population, how this may differ to the presentation of autism in the male population and how this may present within an Early Years setting.  The webinar also addresses strategies for supporting ASD girls within an Early Years setting.

​

What is play and why is it so important in child development?​

​

During this Panel Discussion, we will reflect on the importance of play in order to support the development of children and young people.  This will be followed by a 30 minute discussion where you will have the opportunity to present your own questions to the panel.

​

The panel will consist of Dr Kathryn Gibb (Educational & Child Psychologist), Dr Anisa-Ree Moses (Educational & Child Psychologist) & Dr Amy Such (Educational & Child Psychologist).

Are you supporting a child who is experiencing anxiety around going outside as a result of COVID-19?

​

During this Panel Discussion, we will reflect on the supportive script that we created to support children and young people in venturing outside during the COVID-19 pandemic.  This will be followed by a 30 minute discussion where you will have the opportunity to present your own questions to the panel.

​

The panel will consist of Dr Kathryn Gibb (Educational & Child Psychologist), Dr Anisa-Ree Moses (Educational & Child Psychologist) & Dr Amy Such (Educational & Child Psychologist).

This session is designed to follow on from the webinar - 'School Staff Self-care'. It focuses on using our ability to anchor in 'safe and social' state to help our students when they are struggling. The webinar is designed to support adults to come alongside children who are feeling distressed in order to support them, using the relationship with the adult as a source of safety and security, rather than focusing on strategies for managing behaviour.

​

There will be an opportunity to explore the concept of co-regulation and learn more about what we know of the physiology which underpins our ability to make and sustain social connections.

​

There will also be short activities offering experiential learning, where practitioners will have the opportunity to think carefully about what might be going on for students when they do not follow instructions, cannot stay on task or behave in verbally or physically aggressive ways. There will be a focus on both pro-active strategies to help students stay in a 'safe and social state', and in ways to help students move out of 'fight or flight' and 'overwhelmed/ shutdown' states. These are particularly important skills to be able to draw on as we go back into school environments where we need to be grounded in order to support children and young people effectively.

​

This webinar is an abridged version of our whole school training, adapted for the constraints of online learning. At 90 minutes it is designed to fit into the busy schedules of school staff.

This session is designed to be the first of two. It provides an essential basis for the following webinar which focuses on co-regulation and ways to support students in school. It focuses on developing school staff skills in anchoring in 'safe and social' state to help our students when they are struggling. The webinar is designed as an introduction to trauma sensitive responses to children's behaviour.

There will be an opportunity to explore the idea that our nervous system is designed both for connection with other people and to protect us from threat. We will learn about the different emotional and physiological states that our current scientific understanding suggests that all humans can enter as they try to respond to threat in their environment- 'safe and social', 'alert and anxious' and 'overwhelmed/ shutdown'. The event will include teaching about the current ideas about physiology as well as experiential learning.

There will be a focus on practical strategies for 'anchoring in safety' so that we are in a position to support and help our students as they return to school.
