Workshops
We enjoy presenting interactive workshops for toddlers, children, adolescents, families and professionals.
Our workshops have been creatively developed by Kimberley O’Brien over 15 years in the Child and Family field. We strive for innovation to ensure our presentations are inspiring, practical and effective for small groups in the clinic setting or demonstrative for large audiences in an auditorium. Quirky Kid workshops draw on our micro-skills in working with children combined with current research and practices in Australia, the USA and UK.
Our clinic-based workshops playfully address many common childhood issues such as managing anxiety, improving social skills, understanding separation and divorce, building self esteem and making yourself happy. We work from the child’s perspective and use evidence-based group work techniques to encourage participation and learning in a therapeutic environment.
The Today Show has featured a story about our workshops. Watch the video here.
Most recently Moriah Colleague, Cranbrook School, TIGS, St. Thomas, St Catherine and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney (MCA) have commissioned one of our whole class workshops.
