Feedback on San’s Workshops
San is an excellent presenter, clear and concise and gave great case examples, it was the best training we've had for ages"
This 1-­‐day workshop will explore different ways of working with complex clients. This group includes individuals who experience various combinations of mental illness, intellectual disability, physical disability, behavioural difficulties, homelessness, social isolation, family dysfunction and substance abuse. "San uses a great mix of power-­‐point, photos, videos and activities to break up the day, one of the videos was such an eye-­‐opener! I also liked San's way of in-­‐depth analysis on each topic covered"
It will highlight Positive Behaviour Support tools and the use of different analytical techniques to work out the messages complex clients can send through their behaviour. Case Scenarios taken from San’s work will be presented to illustrate the benefits of art therapy with families. "San's presentation was inspiring, uplifting and motivating us to change our practice, it was amazing, thank you"
