Join us for two full days of learning, connection, and joy!
We are so excited to welcome you to our office in South Boston for another wonderful Rainbowdance® Basic Training this December 1-2. Rainbowdance® is a caregiver/teacher friendly intervention that encourages self esteem, self regulation, and social empathy through the use of repetitive gesture, song, and movement. Rainbowdance® provides children with the opportunity to experience the attachment to the peer group necessary for healthy relationship building, minimizing an orientation toward peer violence.
Throughout this school year, we’ve been witness to both the joys and struggles that children, teachers, and caregivers are experiencing with the return to live programming. Rainbowdance® can be supportive in your classroom, daycare, or home to increase calming, grounding, relaxation, and connection while reducing dysregulation, aggression, and other challenging behaviors.
Great for students, parents, teachers, and clinicians. A wonderful refresher for those who have been already been trained in-person or trained virtually.
LMHCs may be eligible to apply for up to 16 CEUs. Please contact us for more information.
