Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong> This workshop will look at the historical and Theological foundation upon which the value of Inclusiveness is built upon at Edmund Rice schools. This foundation will underscore the imperative nature of the Edmund Rice Touchstone \u2018Inclusive Community\u2019 at any Edmund Rice school. What an inclusive school community looks like in action will then be looked at. Workshop participants will be called upon to share their own experiences of Inclusive Community in Edmund Rice schools, the Edmund Rice Network, and\/or other community and workplace contexts<\/p>\n

Workshop B01: \u2013 <\/strong>\u2018Animal-Assisted Therapy with children who have experienced maltreatment and trauma.

\n<\/strong>Juliette is a Family Therapist with 16 years\u2019 experience providing individual, family and group therapy to children and adults. After receiving her Master\u2019s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in Hawaii, Juliette provided therapy to: children and youth in a therapeutic foster care program; to adolescents at youth justice facilities in Honolulu and in Los Angeles; to adults at a community mental health clinic; and to youth at a secure psychiatric hospital unit.<\/p>\n

After returning home to Aotearoa, Juliette has worked for the past four years with children and youth in foster care who have experienced physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect or family violence. Juliette provides individual therapy to children and teens, assessments, specialised parent coaching to parents and caregivers, crisis counselling and risk screening to children giving forensic interviews, and consultation to social workers.<\/p>\n

Juliette is passionate about reducing child abuse in New Zealand and about helping tamariki overcome early experiences of trauma or adversity. On providing genuine and appropriate long term support for young people as this is where the biggest gap appears.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> Children who have experienced abuse and\/or neglect and who may have been removed from their parents, tend to distrust adults making therapy more challenging. Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a type of psychotherapy which utilises the presence of an animal alongside a trained therapist, to help a child ti feek safe and comfortable (manaakitanga), and to assist in meeting therapy goals of exploring the child\u2019s inner world and bringing about healing and healthy emotional development. Workshop will include discussion of the effects of complex trauma on children, the advantages of AAT and clinical examples.<\/p>\n

Workshop C01:\u00a0 <\/strong>Inclusivity \u2013 Manaakitanga\u00a0 Part 1
\n<\/strong>Presenter: Dan Eastwood & Reon Nolan<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>Reon Nolan<\/strong> is living proof that change is possible. His journey from a life of chaos, crime, prison\u2026 to where he is now is amazing\u2026 Recreation, healthy challenge, adventure and of course a lot of manaakitanga from people in the community all played their parts as he created a fulfilling life. Over the last 13 years Reon has been in roles where he has supported people within the corrections system.\u00a0 He now mainly works with young people where he uses mountain biking as one of his key tools to support them on their journey.<\/p>\n

Dan Eastwood <\/strong>has been working at Waipuna for 12 years delivering adventure therapy and development programmes. For the last eight years this has been in partnership with the Department of Corrections. Dan is extremely focused on providing genuine and appropriate long term support for young people as this is where the biggest gap appears.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> \u2018<\/em><\/strong>Walking alongside Young People in the Corrections System.\u2019
\n<\/em>Dan and Reon will talk about their experience of walking alongside challenging young people for the long haul. Manaakitanga is a key value within their work and they will focus on how they use this to build healthy positive relationships with young people that have had some really challenging times. They will also discuss how they utilise these relationships to challenge the young people so that they can develop and work towards their goals.<\/p>\n

Workshop D01 \u2013<\/strong> <\/span>The wisdom of Kaumatua<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Presenter: <\/strong>Jeanie Sales
\n<\/strong>Jeanie has been a nurse for 40 years and 30 of these years has been in Aged Care.\u00a0 She is currently the Clinical Manage of Anthony Wilding Aged Care.\u00a0 Family life continues to be central to her life with four adult sons (former St Thomas\u2019s of Canterbury students), five grandchildren and kaumatua in care who continue to inform, touch and inspire her with their humility, witness to life and wisdom of years.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The elderly are a taonga. As a society we have much to learn especially if we listen deeply to narratives of their lives through a number of eras. In today\u2019s world how much notice do we really take of the wisdom, witness and insight of the kaumatua? In a society which values eternal youth, image and beauty, many elderly can become invisible, irrelevant and for some inconvenient.\u00a0 The kaumatua have so much to offer society with their gift of reflection. Kaumatua bring memory, objectivity wisdom and vision to our attention about matters of great significance, if only we choose time to listen.<\/p>\n

Jeanie Sales is a Coaster! Her great love of the elderly came from her family and community roots. Elderly aunts and uncles lived in her family home. They were valued, respected and visible members of the family. Jeanie will share narratives grounded in Manaakitanga and the Wisdom of the Kaumatua.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> A touchstone is a stone used to test the authenticity of a metal. Each metal makes a particular \u2018mark\u2019 when rubbed against a Touchstone.

The office also supports our Catholic faith communities, through the provision of education workshops and resources, to create and maintain environments which respect and acknowledge the dignity of everyone, and where people feel valued and safe.

Abstract:<\/strong> Job 12 7-10 writes “Ask the beasts to teach you, the birds of the air to tell you, the plants of the earth to instruct you, the fish of the waters to inform you.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We need to get out of our cars, off our screens, onto our bikes and walking shoes and into our gardens and water places and listen!<\/p>\n

In the wao – the ancient forest of the Southern Alps – dwells an ancient lineage of liverworts. These soil fungi helped our beech forests move inland. The symbiotic alliance between soil fungi and plants underpins the health of our forests grasslands and croplands worldwide. This is a relationship of love, not war. In this workshop we will explore how to fall in love with our wao – our ancient forests and waterways, and learn, as Job asks, to whakarongo – to listen, and to cause healing.<\/p>\n

How do we want our soils our plants our waters to be like in ten years? What are the keys to both mitigate and adapt to climate change<\/p>\n
