This ON-DEMAND workshop is hosted by Mission: Empowerment!, a seminar company based out of Ontario, Canada

Workshop Description

​Many more children than in the past are being diagnosed with various learning and behaviour difficulties, and many have problems learning from negative experiences. Schools are also having to deal with an increasing incidence of bullying, which “zero tolerance” policies do not seem to be diminishing.

In this workshop, led by best-selling author Dr. Gabor Maté, participants will learn about the causes and underlying dynamics of the challenges faced by today’s children and adolescents — and therefore, by the adults tasked with nurturing and educating them. According to Dr. Maté, the most important feature of any approach to resilience needs to be the attachment relationship between children and the adults responsible for their care.

The concepts, principles and practical advice articulated in this workshop will empower parents, teachers and other adults who play a nurturing role, to be for children what nature intended: the true source of contact, security and warmth. This, in turn, will increase resilience in children by protecting them from becoming lost in the emotionally barren and culturally backward world of peer orientation.

The workshop is based on Dr. Maté’s books, including Hold on to Your Kids and Scattered Minds. In addition to didactic teaching, there will be generous time given for interactive dialogue with participants.
