Services supporting professionals
CatholicCare offers a range of programs for teaching staff and welfare/counselling staff within schools and educational settings.
We provide professional development for teachers as well as clinical supervision services for school counsellors and welfare staff.
Professional Development for Teachers
Our professional development sessions for teachers and other school staff in both primary and secondary settings cover topics including:
- classroom management
- self-care
- managing students with challenging behaviours
- discipline
- identifying student anxiety early
- supporting students with emotional issues
Professional development sessions can be run both in groups and for individuals.
Benefits
Teachers leave our sessions better equipped to meet the day to day challenges of supporting children’s well-being.
Our approach is very much centred around identifying skills and resources with the school already as well as ensuring teachers are better connected with other supports and resources outside the school gates.
Eligibility
Professional development sessions can be delivered in any school across Melbourne, Geelong and Gippsland.
Call us to discuss how we can tailor a session to meet your needs.
