SUMMARY:Assessing Family Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Duration1 day – face 2 faceTuesday\, 8 September 2026Time09:30 – 15:00VenueLighthouse Resources Upstairs Training Room37 Kyabra Street RUNCORN\, QLD. 4113OutlineAssessing Family Dynamics (AFD) Structural Family Therapy\, developed in the 1970s\, has become one of the most widely used models in the field. The theory is popular because it is simple\, inclusive and practical. The basic structural concepts – hierarchy\, boundaries and subsystems – are easily understood and applied. They take into account the individual\, family and social context\, and provide a clear organising framework for understanding and treating families.This workshop provides a theoretical framework for understanding family functioning\, how behaviour problems develop in children\, and how children’s emotional development can be facilitated.Target groupFor people who:Provide counselling or work with children and families.Assist parents (or others) to understand and manage children’s behaviour.Assess family functioning\, for example: court reporting\, foster placement.Provide education – for parents and health/welfare/education professionals.FacilitatorPeter Marrington is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a special interest in anxiety and trauma. He has more than 35 years’ experience working as a child and family therapist in government and not-for-profit organisations\, and in private practice – providing counselling to children and adults\, consultancy and training to health and welfare professionals\, managing clinical services\, and in the research and development of treatment programs for abused children and adults.

SUMMARY:Emotional Freedom Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Duration1 day – face 2 faceTuesday\, 13 October 2026Time09:30 – 15:00VenueLighthouse Resources Upstairs Training Room37 Kyabra Street RUNCORN\, QLD. 4113Target GroupPeople interested in the treatment of stress\, anxiety disorders\, trauma\, PTSD\, phobias\, anger\, depression and abuse.OutlineEFT involves tapping on acupressure points while focusing on a particular physical sensation\, emotion\, or event.EFT is part of an emerging field known as “energy psychology” and is described as a form of “psychological acupressure” without needles. The approach relieves physical and/or emotional symptoms by tapping in sequence on 9 meridian points. The tapping balances energy meridians that become disrupted when we think about or experience an emotionally disturbing event. Once balanced\, the upset is usually resolved\, and while the memory remains there is no strong emotion attached to it.The tapping is self-administered using fingertips. The meridian points are located on the hand\, top of head\, eyebrow\, side of eye\, under eye\, under nose\, chin\, collarbone\, and under arm.In addition to halting the fight-or-flight response\, tapping is effective in turning off the alarm in the mid-brain associated with re-traumatisation. It appears that tapping on the meridians sends a calming response to the body\, and the amygdala recognises that it is safe.EFT has been successfully applied to treat a wide range of emotional problems and issues. It has also been used to enhance performance and improve relationships.Over 275 peer-reviewed published studies in journals including the Journal of Clinical Psychology and the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease have demonstrated tapping efficacy.This workshop will provide participants with information about the development and application of EFT\, and opportunities to apply the techniques.OutcomesAt the completion of the workshop participants will have:*An understanding of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)\, and how they are applied to resolve anxiety disorders\, trauma\, PTSD\, phobias\, depression and abuse.*An awareness of and basic experience in applying these techniques.TestimonialsSome of the great feedback we received about this event:* This workshop was very informative and well presented* I liked doing lots of hands on practice which gives me confidence that I can use this in counselling. I also liked exploring the theory behind it so I can be more confident of its utility* I enjoyed the openness of the other participants\, the skill of the trainer and the videos to support our learning* This has been the most energising workshop I’ve attended; the tapping kept me alert and focussed on topic – Thank you* The group tapping together was great practice; I will use regularly on myself and use it more with clients* I really enjoyed the clear theory balanced with the demonstrations\, the videos and the practice sessions* The experiental aspect of the workshop helped solidify the process of tapping* Examples provided based on client interactions were helpful and will assist me to explain the concepts to colleagues during learning circles*I loved the chocolate demonstrationFacilitatorPeter Marrington is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a special interest in anxiety and trauma.

SUMMARY:Supervision: Unpacking Practice - webinar with Vicki Carrick
DESCRIPTION:Duration2 day – OnlineFriday\, 16 & 23 October 2026Time9:00 – 16:30 each dayOnlinevia ZoomTarget GroupFor counsellors\, social/human service workers\, pastoral care workers\, psychologists\, youth workers\, students or anyone who is a supervisor or a supervisee and interested in practice development.Prerequisite/Notes:Some understanding of post structuralist practice frameworks such as client/person centered\, strengths based\, narrative and solution focused approaches would be an advantage for participation.OutlineDo you ever find yourself in your role as a supervisor wondering how you can support supervisees to build on their own skills and knowledge? Do you get invited into coming up with all the answers and feel you are doing all the work? Or as a supervisee do you ever feel that the advice offered by your supervisor doesn’t feel quite right? In your role as supervisor or supervisee do you aspire to having conversations that enable you to reflect and make decisions about your own practice?This workshop will offer workers\, whether they are supervisors\, supervisees or both an opportunity to explore ways of having conversations that centre the knowledge and expertise of the supervisee. In doing so the supervisee has the opportunity to build on what they know\, and the supervisor has a tool to make this possible.OutcomesAt the completion of this workshop\, participants will have:* Explored some assumptions underpinning a capacity building approach to supervision conversations about practice.* Explored some conversational maps to assist in these conversations.* Explored how these ideas can be applied to their own work context.FacilitatorVicki Carrick has worked in the community sector for over 25 years and her work roles include case management\, child protection\, community development\, disability program coordination\, group facilitation\, international development work\, project work and training. Vicki has completed a Master of Social Work\, Master of Social Administration (Community Development)\, Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)\, and she has completed further study in facilitation and strengths-based supervision.
