Adult &Child Separation Anxiety Workshop

Service Description

📅 Monday 1st September 🕥 10:30am - 11:30am 📍 10/11 St Mary's Gate, Derby, DE1 3JR 🏷️ £15 🌟 Join Us for a Special Workshop on Anxiety 🌟 Leaving the adults that make us feel safe and secure to go to school or stay with family and friends can be hard. Often, a child can feel like they are 'wrong' for experiencing certain emotions, leading to confusion and distress. Children may struggle with this for a number of reasons, and this workshop aims to normalise those emotions and help them cope with any sadness or worry that arises. Using the fantastic book by Patrice Karst, The Invisible String, we will gently explore how children can feel connected to their loved ones, no matter where they are. We'll delve into the emotions that can surface during these times and offer simple, effective ideas to cope with these feelings. What to Expect: Emotional Exploration: Understand and normalise the feelings associated with separation and worry. Creative Activities: Engage in gentle, creative exercises that allow for personal expression and bonding. Professional Support: Access to professionals for any difficult questions or guidance needed. Safe Space: A small, intimate group setting where you won't be required to share personal experiences with others—this is your time to connect with your child. Details: Attendance: One parent/carer and one child per booking. Resources Included: The cost covers attendance for both of you and all necessary resources. This workshop offers a nurturing environment to explore anxiety together, fostering emotional intelligence and strengthening your bond with your child. If you have any questions, please get in touch. Join us for an enriching experience that supports both you and your child in navigating emotions with creativity, understanding, and support. 🌟🎨💖
