FREE CPD RESOURCES

Australia’s Mental Health Providers Network very generously shares information on mental health issues and care approaches via webinars (live and recorded) and podcasts. This is a community service, free of charge, and well worth your time. It’s particularly useful to hear how GPs, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers view mental health diagnosis, treatment and recovery and what language they use. To claim Cat B CPD points, simply keep a short summary of the event/podcast. If you attend in person, they send you a CPD certificate.

TRAINING COURSES 2021/2022

8 October 2021 to 29 July 2022

Advanced Clinical Training in Somatics and Dance Movement Therapy

Clinical training in Dance Movement therapy is essential to the field.

This course is designed as a postgraduate level course for Allied Health Professionals wanting to develop their professional capability to work in a Somatic and Dance Movement Therapy manner with their clients.

Entry into the course requires a qualification in movement/dance/bodywork or other Allied Health disciplines.

The therapeutic use of movement assists us to change within and in relationship to others.

As we change our mode of action, our image of ourselves also changes. - Who am I? - How do I move? - Which parts of me work to express myself? - Where does my movement initiate? - Does my mind lead or follow? - Do I trust my body?

Most of human interaction is non-verbal and therapy is lacking if we don’t utilise this information, therefore we must enhance our skills in observing the non-verbal; generally presented to us in movement, gesture, posture, and expression.

In this course we introduce students to a framework and vocabulary for grasping this non-verbal data.

There are 5 Contact Modules associated with this course. Each Module consists of smaller individual subjects. The introductory modules can be studied as independent short courses for Professional Development and available both face to face and via live streaming.

This Somatics and Dance Movement Therapy Fundamentals course comprises of the following:

Introduction to Somatics & Dance Movement Therapy
Introduction to Developmental Movement
Introduction to Laban Movement Analysis

SOMATIC BODY MAPPING WORKSHOP

Body Mapping is a safe, respectful, and gently paced process which encourages and engages with your body sensations, movement, feelings, and creativity. Creative space in Body Mapping provides opportunity for deeper bodily connections to yourself and others. It is explorative, experiential, playful, and sometimes risk-taking. Creative process elicits awareness of the present moment in yourself. You are invited to create your own body map on a body-sized paper, using art materials. You are not aiming to create a “nice” piece of artwork. No artistic, movement skills or experience required.

Summer: 4 & 5 February 2022
Autumn: 6 & 7 May 2022
Winter: 15 & 16 July 2022
Spring: 14 & 15 October 2022
