Listening to Our Bodies: Consent, Boundaries & Emotion Regulation Workshop Facilitator ~ Part Time

Connected North - Taking It Global ~ online across Nunavut (& Canada)

What an Online Session for Kindergarten - Grade 3 Students Looks Like:
 

This series of three interactive workshops is the first time consent & boundaries education is being offered to young learners (K-Gr3) in schools across Nunavut. Each 30-minute session introduces age-appropriate concepts like listening to our bodies, boundaries, permission, emotions, and simple regulation skills through songs, movement, storytelling, and hands-on activities. These sessions are also available to other classes across Canada.

 

Students learn to recognize what feels comfortable or uncomfortable, express their needs, and understand the needs of others. Gentle psycho-education is woven throughout to support foundational skills for healthy relationships, safety, and emotional awareness in culturally respectful and developmentally sensitive ways.

Psychoeducational Art Workshop Facilitator ~ Part Time

Connected North - Taking It Global ~ online across Canadian communities

What a 1-Hour Online Art-Based Session for Grade School Students Looks Like:

In this psycho-educational session, students are introduced to art therapy and how creative expression can support emotional well-being. They then create their own "Shelf of Well-being" artwork - personalized pieces that help them explore and define what well-being means to them. As they work, there’s time for reflection and discussion on self-care and emotion regulation. The completed art serves as a lasting, visual tool for students to use at home to support their mental and emotional health.
