The very best wishes for you and your whanau from all of us at Praxis!

Put this one in your (new!) diary:

DEVELOPMENTAL AUDIT Workshop with Scott Larson

March 7-8 (Wellington)

The Developmental Audit builds on the RAP Workshop and focuses on strengths based alternatives for dealing with challenging children and youth. The RAP workshop is helpful but not essential for the DA workshop.

The Audit goes beyond deficit-based assessment to address these two crucial questions:

1. How did this young person come to this point in his or her life?

2. Where should we go from here to foster positive learning and growth?

See attached for more information, or email admin@praxis.org.nz to register. We will do an organisational discount if you plan to bring a group, please contact Lloyd@praxis.org.nz for details.

We are planning an additional day (also in Wellington) with Scott on Wednesday 9^th March,

please contact Lloyd if you have some suggestions.
