Temenos CYP Weekend

This weekend provides an opportunity to meet with other CYP practitioners, to share experiences, dilemmas, struggles and ideas.

It will be facilitated by Sue Lewis who is currently the tutor on the Temenos Working with Children & Young People Programme and is also an experienced trainer, counsellor and supervisor with a wealth of resources to draw on.

The weekend will very much be shaped by the needs of those attending, so please come ready to share experiences and express your needs.

There will be opportunity for:

• Group supervision style discussion of issues arising in your work (including safeguarding concerns)
• Trying out a range of resources that can be used to help children and young people express themselves (sand, puppets, books, miniatures, art materials)
• Requesting information on any developments in the field that you’re finding confusing.
