Be Centre Foundation is proud to present Lisa Dion, the creator of Synergetic Play Therapy, for a one-day professional training workshop titled ‘Working with Aggression and Intensity in Children’.

• Are you struggling with children’s challenging behaviours ?

Aggression naturally emerges in Play Therapy, and effectively transforming it into a therapeutic experience can be challenging.

Join us to explore the neuroscience of helping your child clients navigate through their aggression and intense play, ultimately fostering healing and transformation. Lisa Dion, utilising the principles of Synergetic Play Therapy, will share practical strategies for handling intense and aggressive play.
