Understanding Legal Issues When Working With Children and Adolescents

Picture
When working with Children and Adolescents, it is critical to be familiar with the laws of the land under which you, as the Helping Professional, must abide by. 

This workshop provides a broad base understanding of the Singapore law regarding important areas like divorce and custody dispute, addiction and family violence. It gives guidance on how to conduct oneself responsibly when working with the persons-in-need. The potential conflict between the law, code of ethics and moral obligation is discussed. 

Working with Children and Adolescents with ADHD

Picture
An analysis of 175 studies worldwide estimated that around 7% of children and adolescents 18 years and under have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In Singapore, a study of 2400 children between the ages of 6 to 12 estimated that 4.9% had disruptive behavior disorders according to parent ratings.

​
This course is distinctively different from others of the same title: it scaffolds important ADHD information with group activities that help participants experience these information in a refreshingly clear way. For instance, beyond classroom instruction, participants will, through facilitator-guided activities, get a glimpse of how a child with ADHD navigates his world. Participants will also learn key interventions skills, practical tips and strategies that can be immediately applied in the workplace.


Working with Children and Adolescents with School Refusal and Anger Issues

Picture
Children and adolescents face a wide ranges of pressure within and outside the school context. These can vary from family, social & relationships, and academic stresses. When a young person does not cope with these challenges well, they are likely to become frustrated and this can then manifest as school refusal and anger problems.

This workshop aims to (a) teach participants useful intervention strategies and skills and (b) equip them to develop effective behavioural management programs that can help difficult young people. Permeating  the entire session will be the emphasis that the people-helper help from a spirit of compassion and patience.
