Resilience Toolbox

As Naomi Holdt - Psychologist and Speaker reminds us:
'We talk so much about the importance of showing up. But the truth is that unless You First Show Up For Yourself, you simply cannot show up for anyone else.'

Our Herschel Senior School workshop back in May was well received, with a reminder of the scarcity, but the value of these moments:

'This Resilience Toolbox workshop came at a good time for me. We have very few opportunities to discuss work stressors in a constructive manner, and I feel that this workshop gave us that opportunity. Furthermore, the workshop helped us with some very useful tools that continue to help me centre myself and self-regulate when under stress.'

Our OT Nicky & Play Therapist Neda have been busy setting up and adding the final touches to this Resilience-building course for tweens. Such an interesting age with the onset of adolescence and a time that can be rife with emotions and anxiety. This workshop brings some much needed creativity and fun-filled strategies for building confidence and curiosity.

Our commitment to serving our communities goes hand in hand with continuous development of our staff’s skills to enable them to do this effectively and efficiently. To this end our team recently attended a skills building workshop at our Health Park.

Sisanda Play Ambassadors are reliable, trusted positive role models who understand and practice the Power of Play.

Mariza, one of our dynamic Youth Play Ambassadors delivering an extract on Resilience Zones from our upcoming Play Ambassador training workshop to the HCI Foundation visitors to our office this week...
”It’s knowing that we all react and respond to difficult situations differently. How we react and respond affects those around us too. When we are more self-aware and can regulate ourselves, we can help others too.”

To more empowered youth, parents and adults to be that positive influence in their homes, at school and in the workplace!

Loved this feedback from HCI Foundation after our on-line support session for their Post-graduate bursary students.

'We enjoyed your interactive session. Your insightful and practical advice, especially in the light of the students’ anxiety around navigating their postgraduate studies, will surely assist them. It was great that you practically demonstrated easy tools for them to use when they find themselves in the red or blue zones. Personally, I would make use of them.'

We aim to reach future parents, workforce, leaders to shift away from the escalating stress and anxiety towards a more curious and compassionate state with greater understanding of the nervous and increasing sense of empowerment of self!

Great tool to ground and calm!

There was no better way to start the year than to ask the question "What do we mean by Resilience?"

The Sisanda FunDaytion training team spent a morning with a team of social workers, community workers and toy librarians strengthening their belief in the value of play while experiencing some tools and activities to build their own resilience before engaging with the children and families joining their programmes this year.

Thank-you to HCI Foundation for the connection.
