Childhood Licensed Practitioner

Course Outcomes

Thrive Licensed Practitioner training empowers you to actively develop the emotional wellbeing and resilience of all the children you work with. Successful completion of this course leads to Thrive Childhood Licensed Practitioner status.

You’ll learn how to equip children with vital social and emotional skills that will help them to effectively cope with stress, overcome adversity, and build their confidence and self-esteem. You’ll explore how to help children better understand and manage their emotions, so they can bounce back from challenges rather than becoming overwhelmed (which can lead to shut down or explosive behaviour). This also has a positive impact on attendance, learning outcomes and staff wellbeing.

Thrive Licensed Practitioner training will give you:

• The tools to identify children with under-developed social and emotional skills
• Practical strategies to help form strong relationships and provide positive experiences that shape behaviour
• The knowledge to work with children whose social and emotional development has been interrupted, to build their skills and strengthen their stress regulation systems
• A calm, motivated group of children who are ready to engage with life and learning

What’s included in the training and how is it delivered?

• 3 months’ live, interactive online training with experienced Thrive experts
• Individual feedback and support to complete the course
• E-learning modules full of additional theory, videos, resources and opportunities to connect with other delegates
• Mentoring on your case loads by Thrive specialists
• Advice, guidance and clear steps to take with children who are causing you concern
• A 100-page Thrive Delegate Reference Manual to keep and refer back to after your course
• Access to networks of Thrive Licensed Practitioners to share best practice with and gain advice

“I’m able to deal with disruptive behaviour in a positive way and feel more confident guiding colleagues to do the same. Some children who had previously displayed disruptive behaviour have dramatically changed, becoming calm, productive members of their class.”
