A review from Professor Barry Carpenter, CBE, OBE, PhD, a Professor of Mental Health in Education at Oxford Brookes University
“The Therapeutic Toolbox is a groundbreaking resource from the distinguished Child Psychologist , Dr Tina Rae.
Within a framework of Positive Psychology there is a clear focus on building emotional resilience through dynamic and innovative activities. These are laid out in 6 Toolbox Card sets , designed and written in such away that they are directly accessible to the child or young person themselves. This in itself is key, in that it directly empowers the CYP to self regulate their emotions , feelings and responses . The cards are attractive and inviting ; they could be used to aid individual sessions , group activities or as a stimulus to whole class discussion .
The Toolbox contains resources to aid the activities on the cards, making it complete and easily accessible for teacher, teaching assistant , student or child.
For years a debate has raged : that Education is not therapy . Indeed it is not ! But it should have a therapeutic element that addresses the emotional well being of the CYP .
In this innovative and creative Toolbox, Tina Rae moves that debate on to the vital area of practice. in this time of crisis in Child Mental Health .
The Therapeutic Toolbox will be welcomed by many teachers desperate for resources that truly address the current profile of child learning and emotional need. ”
