Stormbirds
The Stormbirds program empowered us as a school to support children... to teach them skills to cope on difficult days with their feelings.
Description
Train ONLINE to become a certified Stormbirds Companion. We are aware and acknowledge that you may have directly experienced a natural disaster in your community, and we encourage you to identify a trusted colleague or leader to engage for debriefing. This professional development training is delivered over one day by an authorised Trainer and enables educators and professionals to facilitate the Stormbirds small group program in a school or community organisation.
Included: Companion manual and program journal(s), catering, GST
