Level One: for 7 - 9 Year Old Children
This three day experiential Facilitator Training will equip you to use this practical seven week Expressive Therapies groupwork program for students from 7 to 9 years old. This is a creative arts, multiple intelligence approach to supporting children through groupwork, based on the theories and activities of Expressive Therapies. There is a particular focus on developing emotional literacy, knowing self, enhancing creativity and communication, as well as group bonding. Innerspace Junior supports children with emotional or behavioural challenges; affected by grief and loss; at risk of depression; with relational difficulties; with low self-esteem.
While the program builds written and verbal skills, it is also designed to support self-esteem and peer bonding. It is designed to help students open up and share their concerns through the use of metaphor, image, colour, shapes and words, and learn how to relax and enhance emotional resilience.
Experience has shown that students enjoy the activities in the program, which use movement, bioenergetic games, role-play, writing, drawing, worksheets, imagination and relaxation.
