HEALTHY PLAY™ TRAINING

(IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL)

Healthy Play™ training provides teachers and staff with a practical and simple step-by-step approach to enhance positive social skill building, strengthen conflict resolution skills, reduce aggression and bullying, foster resiliency, promote cooperation and maximize involvement for all students and participants.

• We provide a fun and relaxed learning environment to introduce the Healthy Play™ Philosophy, as well as provide participants with “hands-on” play opportunities they can use in their classrooms and programs the very next day!

• Understanding the budget impacts of purchasing additional equipment and materials, all Healthy Play™ activities can be played with little to no equipment.

  “What an amazing workshop! The content was powerful and easy to follow, focusing on resiliency, relationships and accountability: all within a framework of having fun and being physically active. Jen and Jen are a symbiotic pair, able to deliver their content with such knowledge and conviction that you can’t help but leave excited for all the possibilities that await - a winning combination!”

Mairin Husak (Trico for Healthier Generations)

Healthy Play™ IS a Solution!

character education through play

Play is vital to a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical health, however, children are spending less and less time playing and learning from one another and more time alone and engaged in passive activities including those on electronic devices! As a result, many children have lost their ability to get along with their peers, be kind and compassionate, self-regulate behaviour, express delayed gratification, and focus on academic learning. This negative shift has harmful impacts on our schools and communities.

Healthy Play™ is an Arizona-based character education program that enhances existing school and program strategies that promote positive child development. It provides staff, students and participants, simple and fun techniques to manage bullying and challenging behaviours, foster empathy, strengthen conflict resolution skills, encourage diversity and inclusion, and promote character development.
