Workshops & Talks
Practical, relevant guidance for parents, learners and educators
Enquire about this service
Sometimes a little understanding and practical guidance can make a big difference. Workshops and talks provide accessible, engaging psychoeducation around topics that matter to children, adolescents, parents and educators. Sessions can be tailored to the needs of a particular school, grade, phase, parent group, learner group or staff team, ensuring that the content is relevant to the challenges they are currently facing.
The focus is on practical information, meaningful discussion and strategies that can be applied in everyday life — rather than simply presenting information.
Who are workshops and talks for?
Sessions can be designed for:
Learners – addressing age-appropriate challenges and developmental transitions
Parents and caregivers – providing practical guidance around supporting children and adolescents
Teachers and school staff – strengthening understanding, skills and support within the classroom
Schools and organisations – addressing a particular need or topic within the broader school community
Sessions can be offered as a once-off talk or developed into a series of workshops, depending on the needs of the group.
Possible topics
Topics are adapted to the age, developmental stage and needs of the audience. Examples include:
For learners
Navigating social media and online relationships
Bullying, friendship difficulties and peer pressure
Managing disappointment, frustration and setbacks
Emotional regulation and coping with big feelings
Building confidence and healthy self-esteem
Developing resilience and coping skills
Study skills, motivation and managing academic pressure
Preparing for developmental or school transitions
Navigating the transition from primary to high school
For parents
Supporting children through the Grade 1 transition

How to interpret and use a psycho-educational assessment report

Supporting learners through school transitions
Managing workload, boundaries and work-life balance
Supporting educator well-being and preventing burnout
These are examples rather than a fixed list. Topics can be developed around a specific concern or need within your school or community.
What can you expect?
Each workshop or talk is developed with the intended audience and purpose in mind. Before the session, we discuss:
Who the session is for
The age or developmental stage of the audience
The specific concerns or goals
The appropriate length and format
Whether the session should be interactive, discussion-based or primarily educational
Any particular questions or challenges the group would like addressed
Sessions may include discussion, practical examples, activities, reflection and take-home strategies, depending on the topic and audience.
Why choose a tailored workshop?
Children, parents and educators do not need more information for information's sake. They need relevant information that helps them understand what is happening and know what to do next. A tailored workshop allows the content to reflect the developmental stage, context and real-world challenges of the group.
For example, a workshop for parents of Grade 1 learners will look very different from a session for Grade 8 learners navigating social media and peer relationships, or a staff workshop focused on interpreting assessment reports.
Bringing psychology into everyday life
The aim of these sessions is to make psychological and educational knowledge accessible, practical and meaningful. Whether the goal is helping a parent understand a child's behaviour, giving learners tools to navigate a challenging stage, or equipping teachers to better support their learners, workshops and talks provide a space to learn, ask questions and leave with practical strategies that can be used immediately.
