Service Description

Dive into a cutting-edge treatment plan emphasizing the therapeutic power of water and nature-informed therapy. Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan's seminar offers a practical 6-step approach to addressing chronic anxiety, panic, and worry through evidence-based interventions. Many child and family therapists are looking to grow in confidence and competence in best practices and culturally sensitive approaches when integrating nature into their work. This workshop will equip therapists with the theoretical basis of nature-based child therapy as well as the significant research findings on this approach. Participants will have an opportunity to explore case studies illustrating how nature has been incorporated into the practice of child therapists and other clinicians. Ethical implications of nature-informed therapy will be discussed, along with how to navigate the unique challenges that may arise when doing therapy with child clients in natural settings. Additionally, participants will learn how nature-based child therapy activities can be adapted for group or family therapy settings. Through this experience participants will leave with a solid foundation on how to support their clients in developing a stronger sense of self, connection to their peers and community, and connection to nature.
