Services for Children
My Project… Minding You applies a therapeutic approach to all interventions within our service, generating new and positive relationships that can be experienced within a safe setting. Sessions consist of a combination of activity, talk and play. Interventions may include the use of CBT Practices, Theraplay, Motivational Interviewing, Emotional and Social Supports together with Practical Project Work Supports.
Small Group Intervention
Theraplay Groups are an adult-directed, structured play group that incorporates playful, cooperative and nurturing activities that enhance the emotional well-being of children. Group interventions encourage participants to work as part of a team, develop social skill and build relationships with peers.
Roots of Empathy
The Roots of Empathy programme is an evidence-based classroom program that has shown significant impact in reducing levels of aggression among school children while raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. The programme is run in a DEIS band 1 school. The programme is an early preventative intervention. The programme affords us the opportunity to partner with schools and work together in an integrated approach. My Project…Minding You have run the programme for two years in the Holy Family National School, and will continue to deliver it in the future
