## About Creative & Play-Based Therapy Workshops

These workshops move beyond theory by teaching the specific 'mess-to-form' process developed by Dr. Sue Jennings. Whether you are a parent, educator, or therapist, you will learn to integrate sensory play, rhythm, and storytelling into your interactions to help children navigate trauma and emotional challenges through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Our Neuro-Dramatic-Play (NDP) courses are designed for those who want to deepen their understanding of child development through active, creative engagement. Developed by Dr. Sue Jennings, this paradigm treats play as a vital therapeutic tool for children who have experienced trauma or face developmental differences.

### What You Will Learn
Our curriculum focuses on the power of the 'storytelling brain.' By participating in our certificate or diploma tracks, you will master techniques to:
* Use rhythmic play to help regulate a child's nervous system.
* Apply messy play to allow for exploration without the pressure of a 'correct' outcome.
* Facilitate dramatic play to help children relate to others and process life experiences.

### Expert-Led Learning
You will be guided by our faculty, including Dr. Sue Jennings, our co-founder Dr. Kavita Arora, and dramatherapist Aanand Chabukswar. The courses are structured as a hybrid of online modules and in-person training, ensuring you receive direct supervision and peer interaction. 

### Certification and Accreditation
We offer two main pathways:
1. **Certificate Course (26 hours):** Ideal for parents, teachers, and professionals looking for foundational skills in creative approaches.
2. **Diploma Course (67 hours):** An advanced track for mental health professionals and interventionists aiming to integrate attachment-based, play-centered interventions into their clinical practice.

By joining this programme, you join a community of caregivers and professionals dedicated to making spaces safer and more accepting. Our training is not just about gaining a credential; it is about learning how to listen to the stories children tell through their actions.
