Description
- Strategies for ADHD, anxiety and depression
- Creative nature-enhanced sensory experiences (indoors & out)
- Nature-based mindfulness, meditation & movement techniques
Epidemic proportions of children are diagnosed with ADHD, depression, sensory overload, and low self-esteem.
As therapists/educators, we are constantly looking for new tools and techniques that will truly make a difference in the overall health and well-being of children, while improving educational and therapeutic settings.
Outdoor play not only has the power to increase sensory regulation, attention, social skills, creativity, and problem-solving, but it’s free and readily available. Unfortunately, the average child spends less than 30 minutes playing in natural settings, and recess is the first activity to be omitted in time-constraints and used as a disciplinary consequence.
Today kids know more about engaging in gaming, tablets, and social media, than they do about climbing trees and spying on bird nests, planting seeds and watching plants grow, and interacting in the natural world.
Join psychotherapist, counselor-educator, author, and nature-lover, Dr. Cheryl Fisher to bring the benefits of nature-informed therapy and play into your clinical practice. The kids you work with will be:
- Self-confident
- Relaxed
- Emotionally self-regulated
- Empathetic
- Problem solvers
- Physically active
- Sensory integrated
- Creative
- Focused
This workshop will provide you with evidence-based practices in the area of nature-child direct engagement and overall wellness. Come explore a fresh, creative and innovative way to engage kids of all ages.
