The inclusive educator programme


Children are not things to be moulded, but are people to be unfolded
- Jess Lair



So many educators and teachers are placed at the front line of emotional and psychological support for children and their families. Children are evolving - and so are their needs. There are certain behaviours and emotions that need to be supported in class, outside of a diagnosis or label. This holistic support of children speaks to inclusive education and enabling children with limited self regulation techniques or behaviours to still thrive.  Educators do not always have the counselling skills or certification to be able to register with a counselling body and provide this service to those they want to help. We support these individuals by providing a comprehensive 12 week programme which provides for practical preparation and supervision hours which leads to eligibility in registering as a counsellor with the Association of Holistic Counsellors (ASCHP) Council for Counsellors in South Africa (CCSA). We are focused on holistic and wellness interventions and work within a specialist scope of practice. This programme is also utilised to train Wellness Champions within the school system and is perfect for educators, home schooling professionals, parents, tutors, ECD practitioners, principles and school counsellors.

“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.” ~ Paulo Coelho
