A widespread phenomenon in schools, bullying has a tremendously adverse and life-long impact on the emotional and psychological health of its victims. If you work with students or have a child in school and are concerned about the serious effects of bullying on them, attend this educational seminar & workshop to empower yourself with useful research-based knowledge and skills to help them deal with bullying-behaviours more effectively.
Shan You Counselling Centre is a non-for-profit voluntary-welfare organisation committed to help and serve the needy community through counselling and social services regardless of race, language, religious beliefs or the ability to pay. We are organising a public-education seminar and workshop to help parents and educators understand the significant issues relating to bullying and to learn how to help young victims of bullying respond effectively using mind-body tactics.
1. The seminar will cover the "causes" and "effects" of bullying from a psychiatric and psychological perspective, as well as offering realistic, practical and effective strategies to deal with bullying. Family-related factors that are challenging to families of bullies and victims, resulting in school refusal, attention-seeking and oppositional-defiant behaviours, will also be discussed.
2. The practical skills-building workshop will provide parents, educators, and students with innovative and practical action steps based on mind-body tactics to deal with bullies. The workshop is based on a new book, "Bully Proof Your Child: Mind-Body Tactics for Outsmarting the Bully", by Dr Lim Kok Kwang and Ms Wong Mei Yin. Participants will learn simple, proven, and step-by-step tactics that children can use to protect themselves from the bully, including:
· effective responses to the bully.
· stress relief skills.
· skills for releasing deeper hurt and emotions.
· confidence boosting strategies.
· social skills to get more support from friends.
Psychologists, Counsellors, Educators, Social Workers, Teachers, Principals, Parents, professionals working closely with children / teenagers and other mental healthcare professionals will find this public-education programme very enlightening and useful.
