Building Connection Through LEGO

October 10 @ 11:10 am - 12:00 pm

Combine the magic of LEGO with the power of safety and connection through this hands on workshop where we explore how to therapeutically build alongside akonga who might otherwise find connection to others difficult, scary or overwhelming.

Not all Akonga feel safe in relationships with others. Some take more time to establish trust, some are stuck in fight and flight responses, and just need a safe place to rest in safety with reduced demands on language and social expectations. This workshop will build knowledge around using LEGO skillfully to support regulation and relationship building through gentle, child-led shared experiences and interactions.
