We invite teenagers to attend a masterclass “How to Defend One’s Opinion Without Fighting”

are afraid to say “no” or, conversely, react too sharply to someone else’s objection;
find it difficult to defend their own opinions and boundaries
This masterclass will help your teenage kids learn to be assertive – to defend their boundaries, say “no” without guilt and “yes” without fear, express their opinion confidently but with respect for others.

💬 If you hear your children saying that no one loves them, it means that your rules are not yet totally clear for them.

With no clear boundaries, it’s hard for kids to feel safe: they don’t know what to expect from the world and adults. But when the rules are clear, there are fewer tantrums and more trust and understanding.

At the webinar, we will focus on the following:
• How to explain to your kid what’s okay and what’s not – without yelling;
• What are the different types of boundaries and how to set them;
• Why kids “test” rules and how to respond calmly to these tests;
• How to avoid chaos, if the family has different approaches to parenting.

💬 You will get ready-to-use phrases for everyday communication and simple steps to strengthen trust in the family

A workshop on memory, stress, habits, and enjoyment of the learning process
“How to learn and not get bored”

🧠Learning is not just about knowledge. It is about the state in which you perceive that knowledge.

🔸 Do you have trouble concentrating?
🔸 Do you feel that you can’t remember anything?
🔸 Does learning seem difficult and exhausting?

The good news is that your brain is not a hard drive. It can be trained to work more easily, flexibly, and efficiently.

At this meeting, you will get:
✔️a clear understanding of how your memory works
✔️techniques for memorising without cramming
✔️ways to reduce stress and stay focused
✔️habits to increase mental endurance
✔️brain training exercises – with fun
✔️a different view of learning: not a challenge but a pleasure

Learning is a tool. And we will show you how to use it with ease!

Give yourself and your families the tools they need for support and recovery!
We invite psychologists, specialists and anyone interested to attend the webinar Coping with psychological trauma, working with families in wartime, the therapist’s role
📌 About the webinar:
War changes families forever. Often, different traumas gather under one roof, interacting and affecting all family members.
Just imagine a family with:
• a mother with anxiety disorder following evacuation;
• a 7-year-old son with regressive reactions;
• a 13-year-old daughter with an eating disorder;
• a father with PTSD after military service.

Webinar questions:
• How to work with such a family?
• Where to start and how not to harm?
• Is it possible to treat all of them simultaneously?
• What mistakes can nullify the psychologist’s efforts?

📚 Webinar programme:
1. Psychological trauma in children and adults: mechanisms of formation and manifestations.
2. Trauma in the family as a system, rather than separate stories.
3. Signs of PTSD, anxiety disorders, regression, and eating disorders in children and adolescents.
4. Sequence of assistance: where to start, how to work with several “pain points” at the same time.
5. Effective therapy for military families (EMDR, Brainspotting, TF-CBT, and others).
6. Recovery strategy for the whole family.

For parents of school starters

The first day of school is not just about new school bags, flowers and a ceremonial line-up.

It is also about morning tears, new habits, new routines and adaptation.
We invite you to attend the workshop “How to prepare your child and yourself for the big start”
We will talk about how to gently guide your children into their new role, how not to be afraid of the initial stress of school, and how not to demand “perfect parenting” from yourself.
