SETTING
FOUNDATIONS
A twelve week program to support you to be able to set a solid foundation to spring from to make changes in your life.
Therapist led programs that actually support you.
Foundational Care has developed a range of programs that are designed to support you to build a deeper connection to your body. We have worked with industry leaders to create evidence based and science backed programs by resourcing the latest neuroscience research to date.
​
More and more the research is telling us how important it is to take care of our bodies to have a healthy mind. If we separate physical and mental health, it is the whole person that suffers. We utilise this concept in all of our programs to promote self efficacy and self responsibility for participants to gain a sense of autonomy in their own lives.
PEERS® Social Skills Programs
The world-renowned Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®), provides evidence-based social skills programs to preschoolers, adolescents, and young adults who have a diagnosis of autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, depression, and other socio-emotional problems.
​
Certified PEERS Providers are required to complete the full PEERS training under the tutelage of Dr Elizabeth Laugeson and her team. In addition, for certification providers are required to have qualifications in mental health and or special education/education and allied health professionals.
​
The PEERS social skills program for adolescents and young adults utilizes strategies such as direct didactic instruction, role-play to learn new skills, and increased awareness and management of cognitions. The innovation of PEERS® to other programmes is the intensive training of parents/carers, use of Socratic method, provision of real-world opportunities to develop skills and gain feedback in naturalistic settings, use of integrated role play/ demonstration, behaviour rehearsal and experiential learning.
