Description

This workshop is designed to educate clinicians with the tools and strategies necessary to empower children and adolescents to express themselves, increase self-confidence, and become more aware of their inner selves.

We will discuss the significance of self-care practices, mindfulness, and emotional regulation in maintaining a healthy self-esteem. We will outline techniques for effective communication that validate children’s feelings, encourage self-expression, and promote healthy self-talk.
