Drawing And Talking

Supporting mental health and wellbeing is our priority and our passion. We have been delivering high quality training to professionals successfully throughout the UK and internationally since 2002. Drawing and Talking is a safe method of working with children and adults to help with underlying emotional difficulties that may be affecting their learning, behaviour, self-esteem and relationships. Early Intervention addressing mental well-being is crucial in being able to improve the lives of children, adolescents and adults who, when suffering from emotional pain or trauma that is left untreated, may go on to develop more serious mental health issues. With one in 4 people suffering from poor mental health there is an ever-growing need and demand to provide support in many communities throughout the world. Many government policies are now targeting professionals to expand their offering. We have a comprehensive suite of training options for independent professionals, your school, local service, charity or organisation. How It Works: Drawing and Talking works with a persons inner world rather than their conscious, cognitive mind. Often people find being asked to put ordinary language to emotional pain, fear and anxieties difficult and triggering. Working with the a persons inner world needs to be carried out safely and non-intrusively, with respect for their own pace and state of being. That is why anyone using Drawing and Talking learns to stay in the world of the drawing. The Foundation Training Course The foundation course consists of a full day’s training. It is suitable for anyone who is working with vulnerable children or young adults. No previous knowledge, training or experience is necessary. Participants will learn how to put this simple technique into practice. They will learn how to get started, how to run a session and how to deal with common problems which can arise.
