CHILDREN’s workshops | Courses | Facilitator

Children and young people face many challenges as they grow.

Friendships, school, social media, changing emotions, self-confidence and the pressures of modern life can all influence how they see themselves and the world around them.  Developing emotional wellbeing from an early age helps children build confidence, understand their emotions and develop healthy strategies that can support them throughout life.

Through Nurturing Change, I deliver engaging, interactive wellbeing workshops designed specifically for children and young people in a safe, encouraging, supportive and enjoyable environment.

Children learn best when they’re actively involved.

Every workshop has been designed to be interactive, creative and engaging, encouraging children to explore ideas through discussion, practical activities, games, creative exercises and group learning.

All workshop materials are provided, creating an enjoyable learning experience where children feel encouraged to participate at their own pace.

The aim is never simply to teach information.  It is to help children develop confidence in themselves and discover practical skills they can continue using long after the workshop has ended.

Each programme is tailored to meet the needs of the group, organisation or funding programme.  Topics may include:

• Emotional Wellbeing
• Building Confidence and Self-esteem
• Self-care
• Understanding Emotions
• Kindness and Healthy Relationships 
• Dreams, Hopes and Aspirations 
• Goal Setting
• Positive Mind Perspective
• Managing Worries, Overwhelm and Anxiety
• Energy and the impact we have on others
• Respect for ourselves and others
• Developing Resilience
• Communication Skills
• Recognising Personal Strengths
• Gratitude and Appreciation

Every programme is adapted to suit the age and needs of the children taking part.

Workshops can be delivered in a variety of formats, including:

• Two-day intensive programmes
• Eight-week wellbeing courses
• Ten-week development programmes
• Bespoke workshops designed around individual themes or objectives

Sessions are designed to build naturally from one week to the next, allowing children to practise new skills, reflect on their experiences and naturally growing in confidence throughout the programme.  

I have been privileged to deliver a number of funded children’s wellbeing programmes as a freelance facilitator in partnership with Rosegrove Youth & Community Hub.

Working with children aged 7 to 14 years, these programmes have supported young people in developing emotional resilience, confidence and practical wellbeing skills through enjoyable, interactive learning experiences.

Seeing children become more confident, willing to share their ideas and believe in themselves has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.

Every child deserves to feel heard, respected and encouraged.

My workshops are designed to create a welcoming environment where children feel safe to learn, ask questions and express themselves without fear of judgement.

By creating positive experiences and encouraging curiosity, children are given opportunities to strengthen confidence, develop emotional awareness and recognise the strengths they already possess.  Because today’s children become tomorrow’s adults.

Helping them develop healthy emotional foundations today can make a meaningful difference to their future.

When children understand that their thoughts, feelings and emotions matter, they begin to realise that they matter too.
