Description:
The Moving Stories Play Therapy Method provides a relationship-based, multi-sensory approach to teach social-emotional learning in the school setting. It is particularly helpful for children experiencing stress or trauma or with developmental delays. Through the power of story and play, students engage more enthusiastically in learning, enhance emotional awareness and regulation, increase positive feelings about school, improve relationships and self-concept, and find creative ways to express their feelings. This will be an experiential and playful workshop.
Objectives:
- 1. Participants will understand how social emotional learning is enhanced using a multi-sensory and playful approach.
- 2. Participants will experience the 8 steps in the Moving Stories Play Therapy Method.
- 3. Participants will practise using the Moving Stories Play Therapy Method.
- 4. Participants will learn about resources for stories and ongoing supports in using the Moving Stories Play Therapy Method in schools.
