Gentle Teaching Symposium (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: April 9, 2014 - April 9, 2014

Gentle Teaching (GT) is a non-aversive approach to supporting marginalized individuals and has been found quite useful to engage people with developmental disabilities and/or those with dual diagnosis (those who have a developmental disability and a mental health diagnosis) in their own lives. GT is based on a psychology of human interdependence. It asks caregivers to look at themselves and their spirit of gentleness to find ways to express warmth and unconditional love toward those who are the most disenfranchised from family and community life. This public lecture invites you to come learn more about the global movement of Gentle Teaching philosophy and practice as it is experienced by four Canadian CBOs from Regina, Saskatoon, Abbotsford BC, and Ottawa ON. Each agency will make a short presentation about how they use GT to support marginalized individuals and why this approach to caregiving works.
