Key listening skills and interventions to help troubled children heal

This webinar is about optimising the skill set of the emotionally-available adult, through active listening skills and creative interventions key to the healing process. The ‘Make it Count’ campaign (Mental Health Foundation, October 2018) found that nearly half a million children in the UK say they have no one to speak to at school when they are experiencing feelings of sadness or worry. As a result, many report sleep difficulties, getting into fights, struggles with homework and/or wanting to withdraw from friends and family. 

Many children and young people are desperate to be listened to, but that said, they are also very discerning. They seek out adults who are naturally ‘talkable to’. In the webinar, Dr Sunderland will address in detail what brings connection with a child/young person and what to avoid, to ensure against misstatement and misconnection.
