SPACES has some exciting news!

Posted on: October 29th, 2015 by studentpsych

In conjunction with Relax Kids Mornington Peninsula, we are running two x 8 week Relax Kids courses in Term 4 at Lotus Chiropractic in Mount Eliza.

Relax Kids courses aim to promote better sleep, concentration, listening skills, attention span, confidence and self esteem. It teaches and supports kids to be more mindful and happy, reduce their stress and anxiety levels and manage their moods and emotions.

RelaxKids

These two programs are brilliant courses that are run as group sessions to learn similar skills that are introduced in individual counselling sessions - such as positive thinking, self-esteem building, relaxation, affirmations, breathing - but in an environment that is chilled, comfy, relaxing and with peers (strengthening those social skills too!)

Also, the courses are great for kids who have already learnt some positive coping skills through individual counselling sessions, but who now may need a 'refresher' to continue practising and using them.

The courses will be held on a Tuesday afternoons. The first class is free and if your child would like to continue you can then register for the next following 7 weeks. The cost of the program is $175, this includes all materials, trinkets, worksheets, activities and journals and a whole lot of fun!

Individual parent feedback sessions are available at the end of the course, which gives you the opportunity to understand what has been learnt and to know more about how you can help your children to continue to develop these skills at home and beyond. The feedback session is also chance for you to gain some further understanding into how your child in developing and in what areas they may need more support or encouragement. Relevant SPACES tipsheets/handouts will also be provided as a pack as part of the feedback session. The parent feedback session is up to you, but is an additional cost of $20 for a 15minute session.
