Pathways to a Healthy Mind – Parent Workshop
Event description
Based on years of research and clinical experience with children, adolescents and adults, the workshop will cover the following key concepts:
- What resilience is, and how parents and teachers can help children to cultivate it
- The “great mistake” parents make that causes problems, and what to do about it
- The thinking skills that psychologists teach people to be emotionally healthy
- The purpose and function of emotions and how they affect behaviour
- How to deal with unhelpful emotional impulses
- How perfectionism can impede our achievement, and what to do about it
- The keys to preventing depression, anxiety, and eating disorders in young people
- Self-compassion – a powerful practice that is vastly more important than self-esteem
Parents will leave with a broad overview of the key ingredients to mental health and resilience in children, as well practical ideas for how to put these concepts into practice.
