The “Help Yourself” Workshop

Cartoon

This half day workshop is designed for teachers, counsellors, youth workers and parents. It’s extremely relevant, informative, interactive and heaps of fun.

The Topics:

Everybody needs help sometimes. Young people who have good communication and empathy skills, support networks and the ability to say, ’I need help’ will be better equipped to tackle lifes' challenges.

Includes - Information, tips, activities and discussion on ‘help-seeking skills.’

A look into your own life. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to explore some of their own life experiences with a partner. Telling your ‘life story’ can be one of the most important things you do for yourself.

Includes - Activities, information and discussion.

Recognizing and responding to a troubled child. A lot of young people have difficult home lives. An alarming number of Australian kids live with domestic violence, excessive fighting, substance abuse and other abuses.

Information, handouts and discussion that will help youth workers recognize and respond to young people who are having a hard time at home.

Mental Illness/Mental Health: This part of the workshop provides an overview of the different types of mental illnesses; why people get them, common forms of treatment, how to help kids who may have one, or who may have a family member with one.

Includes - Handouts, discussion, short video.

Fear: We as a society live much of our lives ‘in fear.’ Fears like: not feeling smart enough, good enough, tough enough or good looking enough can hold us back from taking healthy risks. Facing our fears is daunting but young people who are encouraged (early on) to venture out of their comfort zones will have a more successful and happy life.

Includes - Activities, information and lots of laughs

These workshops are suitable for up to 25 people. For more information, fee structure and upcoming schedule, please get in touch:
