I found the workshop interesting, challenging and very helpful!  The activities were powerful and the art work was very revealing - I loved usine crayons and symbols.  Monique was insightful and compassionate.  The manual was informative, the venue was beautiful and nurturing and the catering was brilliant.  The workshop gave me a sense of hopefulness and joyfulness in relation to the parenting journey.

Many child professionals face the dilemma of understanding the hardships that numerous children face whilst also experiencing the challenges these children present in their schools, agencies and practices.  This unresolved dilemma in child professionals hardens the soul. Fortunately, more and more child professionals want new understandings and new skills to support children – not quick fixes. The ability to find a way to resolve our internal conflicts and be the people we want children to become is an exciting journey both personally and professionally. Compassion without permissiveness, firmness without disrespect is needed.  Changes that start from within – changes that heal our souls, strengthen our character and improve our willpower – so we are strong enough to do the same for the children who walk through our doors and into our lives.
