A 1-day Live Event with Ellie Baker.About this EventOverviewOn this training day you’ll discover how sand play can be a powerful tool to help children and teenagers reflect on their lives and process difficult emotions.You’ll explore the use of symbolic play with miniature figures in the 3D sand tray environment, enabling young people to express what is important in their lives when words are hard to find. The training focuses on how to recognise and respond to key emotional themes, metaphors, and recurring imagery in different sand worlds. Participants will learn how to create a psychologically safe space from the outset, enabling children and teenagers to share their inner world - often for the first time.Sandplay is especially effective for young people dealing with trauma, anxiety, grief, manifesting in distressed behaviour. The training includes powerful case studies, hands-on learning, and the opportunity to experience sandplay therapeutic interventions first-hand.Please note: These days are very much an introduction to the use of the therapeutic arts to enhance your listening skills and creative ways of connecting with children and young people.
