Join our Zoom chat for a live, interactive session where you can ask questions from our subject expert, giving you more tools for yourself, and to help whānau and families in the perinatal period of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting.
Register to join our interactive PADA Popup Chat #28 Neuro-Linguistic Programming NLPwith Elaine Thompson from Your Life Live ItRāapa Wednesday 27 Āperira April 202210:30 am – 11:30 am
NLP is another tool in your kete when working with people in the perinatal period. After an NLP session, a person should be able to empower themselves by knowing they are in control of their life, actions and emotions so they can just show up as the best possible version of themselves.
What Elaine Thompson says about NLP..
N = neuro; we are looking at our minds, and the incredible and beautiful power they have to create our whole world. We think, we feel, we do. Everything we are begins with a thought. So how does that thought begin? Where are its roots?
L = linguistic; its roots are in language, the language of our world, the language of our Creator. Everything speaks to us. We receive messages through every one of our senses. Sometimes we remember, very often we don’t. We’ve been listening from the moment of our conception. And we are still listening now.
P = programming; are we aware of this? Because in the infinite complexity of being human, we have the power to make choices. To choose what we listen to, to choose what to keep, to choose what to lay down and leave. And so to own our thoughts, own our emotions and own our doings.
For me, this is where I teach from, where I parent from, where I aspire to make a difference from x

About CALD in New Zealand (from www.ecald.com/about-us/about-ecald)

CALD in our eCALD® education programme refers to culturally and linguistically diverse groups who are migrants and refugees from Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American and African (MELAA) backgrounds.

Cultural competence refers to the ability to communicate and interact effectively between cultures. Cultural competence comprises four components: cultural awareness, sensitivity, knowledge and skills.

With increasing cultural diversity of the population in New Zealand, our health workforce is increasingly likely to care for clients or interact with colleagues with language, experiences, beliefs and cultures different from their own.

The New Zealand Ministry of Health requires District Health Boards to provide services that acknowledge the diversity of cultures and ensure services are accessible, culturally appropriate, effective and safe. As well, the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCAA) requires registration authorities to set standards of clinical competence and cultural competence.
