PLANTING CREATIVE IDEAS FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY
PARENTING UNDER 5s
Few of us will receive any formal training across our mental health courses in parenting, and usually this is only accessed by those working in the child and youth space. And so, when our perinatal and infant clinicians first start meeting with new and expectant parents, there is often a need for them to upskill on the variety of parenting theories and programs out there.
This webinar will take you through some of the most common parenting programs, exploring which are the most helpful ways of approaching things for parents of children in the early years.
SCHOOL REFUSAL
We know that separation anxiety, behavioural avoidance, and school refusal difficulties are on the rise since the pandemic. But what exactly is the term "school refusal", and how do we help parents prevent it, and how do we treat it?
This webinar will focus in on the theories, assessment, formulation, and treatment of school refusal problems, developing your confidence to help families with this presentation.
WORKING WITH SEPARATED FAMILIES
When you start doing child and family work (or if you see older teens and young adults, or in fact adult clients who are parents), it can be intimidating to navigate the many complexities brought about by family separation and the processes of Family Law.
This webinar will help increase your confidence in understanding the law, family decision making, and how to share resources and supports for families navigating separation and divorce. We will offer practical tips for ethical and safe practice, in the hope that you will feel better equipped to work with family separation.

One of the most stressful aspects of practicing child therapy comes with the need to balance the perspectives, goals and wishes of both parent and child. And let's not forget about the other parent, and the teacher, and the doctor, too!
This FREE online webinar will help you to understand theories, models, and practical strategies for working with parents, as effectively as you work with their kids and teens.

It is important to orient to the needs of both parent and child when offering perinatal mental health support. This dyadic work can quickly become complex, as we attempt to balance the needs of all within the family system.
This webinar offers practical ideas for supporting parents with mild-moderate postnatal emotional conditions and maladjustment concerns. With an exploration of bond and attachment theory within the infant mental health landscape, a case study example, and practical tips and suggestions, we aim to help clinicians to upskill in their theoretical knowledge and competence.

Particularly since the pandemic, there is an acknowledgement that unhealthy screen use among kids, teens, and young adults is on the rise. The current statistics on Gaming Use Disorder and other forms of problematic screen use means that this is essential introductory training for all child and youth practitioners.
Whatever sector you work in, we are confident that this webinar will help increase your literacy about gaming and screen use, helping you to advise parents and kids, and even adults clients, on how to maintain a healthy relationship with online gaming.

The paradigm, perspectives, assumptions, models and strategies common to the Strengths Based approaches might be new to those who are trained in a diagnostic, psychiatric, or mental health frame. But learning about this approach can be revolutionary if you work with young people, who deserve a positive frame that holds onto hope, growth and the potential for change.
This introductory webinar will get you interested to learning more about strengths paradigms, and help you offer a more sensitive, collaborative and aligned approach for your kids and teens.

While attachment theory is a part of all undergrad psychology programs, those who are not working with the infant age group might overlook the importance of our early attachments in setting up frames of relational understanding that can either help us or hinder us across life.
Learn theories, models, and practical strategies for working with attachment across the lifespan, from infancy to old age.
