"My child and I feel like a team"
“My child and I feel like a team, and we have been able to shift into a place of understanding my child’s lion – I feel that there is more space, curiosity and understanding. It’s not like the big feelings have suddenly stopped, but we are able to deal with the tough moments together, they are coming with less frequency and are less intense.”

"Helps a child understand their emotions"
“We loved the interactive nature of the programme. The child really benefited from understanding her emotions better. She learnt how to talk about her feelings. Staff were able to help her apply the techniques to tame these feelings that previously felt too scary to even think about.”

"Engaging. Valuable. Fun."
“Love the practical tools which are both easy for kids and parents to do and even better they are effective!”

"we felt we had some tools to help us move forward"
“We only had one hour but we achieved a lot. Ananda led the discussion well, giving us both equal time to express ourselves and focusing us when needed. By the end of the session, we felt we had some tools to help us move forward. Ananda was very insightful and seemed to quickly understand some of the dynamics of our relationship. She gave us lots of encouragement and made some very positive comments which we both appreciated.”

"we felt we had some tools to help us move forward"
“Dr Andrea Shortland’s session for MediaCom on a children’s mental health was incredibly informative. During the second period of lockdown and home-schooling; parents and children found themselves again in a period of upheaval and transition. Many parents and carers were extremely worried about their children’s mental health and their own ability to be present and engaged whilst also playing the role of teacher and care giver. Dr Shortland gave attendees an insight into how many parents were feeling; tips on supporting children and helping them cope whilst studying from home and also managing their mental health. She also helped us realise the importance of taking care of ourselves in order to effectively support our children. It was such a useful session that we realise it was also pertinent for not only children’s mental health but also adults! We will be holding another session with Dr Andrea and MediaCom soon.”
