SOULSPEAK in Children's Grief Counseling

SOULSPEAK has been very successfully used as an adjunct to the RAINBOW and other programs for Children's Grief Counseling. This program consists of a text and hands-on training at your location or at our headquarters in Sarasota Florida

Training:

We train you in Elementary SOULSPEAK so that you are self sufficient, which takes 3 hours. If we come to your location, we stay with you and assist you getting started (with your group or class) for as many sessions as you need. Normally this is four sessions

Here are some comments by ESE teachers and therapists

SOULSPEAK in Children’s Grief Counseling
“I appreciated learning about SOULSPEAK… I must admit I was skeptical at first… I have a fourth grader whose sister died in a car accident almost a year ago. Many of the regular counseling techniques were just not working. In the last three weeks, the only change in our working together has been using SOULSPEAK as a part of individual counseling. The change, well, it has been remarkable. This little girl is expressing herself, smiling, sharing her poems with her mom, which is beginning to open things up at home for her. She is so proud of her work…she often requests to share them with the office staff…(this is a little girl who considered herself “no good at poetry”.) We spoke of the [SOULSPEAK] program at last night’s Sarasota Counseling Association. Robyn Marinelli is looking into all of the counselor’s receiving this wonderful training.”

“I have been using SOULSPEAK on small groups of students in my RAINBOWS (grief counseling) groups…. Regardless of academic ability ALL the middle school students were soon eager to share their feelings through this unique medium… students were able to reach deeply inside themselves….I would recommend this medium as an icebreaker or anytime during RAINBOWS, as it is a very positive experience and very rewarding for all.”
