NDP and social anxiety
An NDP ‘Whistlestop’ Course
Monday 23 June, 1200-1400 (UK time)
Friday 27 June, 0900-1100 (UK Time)
Dr Sue presents this webinar and introduces a new approach for working with anxious children and young people to help them develop social skills and reduce stress. This 'Whistlestop' webinar will be of interest to teachers, teaching assistants, care workers, clinicians, therapists, parents, and all professionals involved in the support and development of children and young people
Social Anxiety is the fear of interaction with other people that causes self-consciousness, nervousness, feelings of being judged and evaluated, and as a result often leads to avoidance of anxiety provoking situations. . People with social anxiety feel they are being negatively viewed by other people and this can lead to feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, embarrassment, humiliation and depression. This short course illustrates a new methodology for working with children and young people through Neuro-Dramatic-Play and illustrates how a nurture approach can bring about change and transformation. Anxiety often causes sleeplessness and hyper-vigilance. It’s important to remember that all exercises can be modified to suit individual situations, and that where possible, children and young people should be empowered to choose activities that ‘speak’ to their experience. The techniques in this workshop provide a template for approaching social anxiety with children and young people. Some individuals might prefer to work initially on a one-to-one basis, and perhaps join a group at a later stage, others might choose to have the anonymity of a group rather than feeling exposed individually. Where possible, encourage them to choose how they would prefer to work.
It is important to remember that COVID19 also made an enormous impact on the lives of individuals and families with ensuing anxiety.

How to turn around a negative self-image or world view
Children and teenagers need to resolve their emotional distress in order to discover their self-esteem and their potential for their futures. This Whistlestop Webinar gives examples of NDP application where there has been a remarkable turnaround in both children and teenagers to a positive view of themselves and their world.
Changes in self-confidence and a positive attitude towards learning, can bring about changes in learning achievement and behaviour. However, if a young person regards themselves and their work as ‘rubbish’, disruptive behaviours or other symptoms will take over.
One of the methods for changing behaviour is through the careful application of dramatic activity. Unfortunately drama is often seen as a luxury or unnecessary or a contribution to negative behaviour in itself! This webinar illustrates how the reverse is true, and that positive change can be established by following some simple guide lines. This webinar addresses the stressed environments of schools and therapy, how simple basic adjustments can make ‘a world of difference’. It will also include a de-stress approach for teachers, parents and therapists.
Included in the price of this webinar is a copy of Dr Sue Jenning's book '101 Activities for Positive Thoughts & Feelings' (Hard copy for UK customers only; overseas customers will be sent an eBook version)
Only £45 (including Eventbrite fee)
