Post Trauma Support
|
This training is designed to equip participants with knowledge and skills to help those in the second group described above; this workshop teaches skills to help individuals who experienced trauma but do not require prolonged therapeutic counselling given by professional psychologists.
This workshop comprises two parts: Part 1 will provide participants with an understanding of how to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). (This is based on the work of Ulrich, Anke, Elbert et al, 2015). Part 2 will equip participants with hands-on skills that they can use to help individuals cope with trauma. (This is based on the work of the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA), US). Important features of providing post-trauma support will be addressed and distinctions between post-trauma support and therapeutic counselling will be discussed in this part. |
Working with Children Using Play and Creative Arts Therapy (Level 1)
Play Therapy is a type of therapy used primarily for children (3 – 12 years old). This workshop introduces the concept of Play and Creative Arts Therapy and provides a platform for participants to learn practical skills to understand and help the child. At the end of this course, participants will be able to use Play and Creative Arts techniques to uncover insights useful to address the child’s needs.
This workshop does not qualify participants to be professional play therapist. Rather, it enriches the range of skills that they currently possess. For instance, CBT-trained Counsellors and Psychologist in the audience will be able to integrate the Play and Creative Arts techniques into their ‘toolkit of different therapies’, thus able to offer a holistic approach and bring together different therapeutic methods for a more comprehensive treatment.
