FREE* Parents Workshop, Attendance at Parents Evening or Staff Training Event

I am very interested in developing links with local schools. Ways in which schools have used Clinical Psychology Services in the past include:

• Attendance at a Parents event offering parents time to privately discuss any concerns
• Running Parent Workshops on topics such as Managing Exam Stress, Responding to Emotional Outbursts, Managing Difficult Moments, Talking to Children about Difficult Issues, etc
• Offering Teacher and Staff Training on issues concerning the management of children's emotions, behaviour and mental health in the school setting
• Offering Teacher and Staff Training in the nature and impact of Autistic Spectrum Difficulties
• One-off or regular consultations about concerns for specific children (with parental consent)
• Holding regular clinics so that children can be seen on the school site
• Passing the Service's details to parents who are concerned about their child's emotional, behavioural or developmental well-being
• Placing fliers in a location regularly viewed by parents (please contact me and I would be happy to send fliers to your school)

Staff events would count towards the CPD requirements of teachers and support staff.

I have experience of running training courses for teachers and support staff on a range of issues. These courses regularly receive very positive feedback. My work also regularly involves offering consultation to colleagues about children or issues of concern. In my last post I created, co-ordinated and ran a Parents Support Group for Parents of children with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. These courses were well received and attended. An evaluation of the group showed that it alleviated signs of stress and depression as well as increasing parental satisfaction.

* The first three booked events will be completely free of charge. Only one event per school. The workshops and training are up to half day. Full day events are available but not included in this offer.
