Understanding SEMH and wellbeing of children and young people – a psychologist’s approach
Humanistic psychology emphasises the whole individual and strives to help people fulfil their potential and maximise their wellbeing.
Dr Rob Long explains why Behaviour Policies are unfair, unjust and unworkable and highlights the need for core mantras/principles that change the way behaviour is understood. He outlines practical ideas from positive psychology to support wellbeing and mental health.
3 takeaways from Rob’s training session
– Recognise the difference between equity and equality – and why treating children differently (not the same) to meet their individual needs is crucial –
– Change the way you ‘see’ children’s behaviour – by following key mantras to help you reach the right way of responding and supporting children –
– Use a 5 a day positive psychology checklist – to make sure you’re giving the children you support good emotions, good relationships and meaningful experiences every day –
This session is aimed at SLT, teachers and support staff working with children with SEND.
