“I can not express how useful and valuable your training has been. I have personally already implemented a lot of ideas and concepts from CAMP”

“CAMP is a very thoughtful, holistic approach to address challenging behaviours. I personally found the workshop incredibly helpful to remind me to take a step back and really look at behaviours from a mental health perspective, especially the unmet need aspect. Dayna has a wonderful way of explaining the CAMP approach, so it is applicable to everyone which helps you bring it into your practice confidently. I look forward to learning more from Dayna and continuing to use the CAMP approach moving forward.”

"CAMP takes what my heart knows to be true and presents it in an actionable way. The focus on Connection, Control and Purpose as its foundation gives a grounding, simplified, and sequential way to look at behaviour and mental health, cohesively! What a treasure! I am celebrating the creation of CAMP as a parent, practitioner, and human being, it feels like just what the world needs right now. Thank you Dayna for creating something so accessible, for your hard work and research, and for your bravery in bringing this to our community! I can't wait for people to become familiar with this refreshing take on challenging behaviour and what we can all do to support youth, and ourselves, in this way."

I found CAMP very helpful with the step-by-step process. CAMP fits the education system well with the challenges we face in the classroom. I plan to regularly incorporate it in my teaching practice overtime, especially the validation of the individual and class. It was a great presentation, deliver and the real life scenarios really helped.

I really enjoyed the CAMP workshop with Dayna. She was able to clearly outline her CAMP approach to working with children and youth. I think this framework is comprehensive and can really impact how we approach challenging behaviors from a mental health perspective. I love that Dayna believes the child can help find solutions and that intrinsic motivation is an important part of the framework. I work mainly with early years families and I am a parent so I can use this approach in both my professional and personal life.

Our Forest School staff team participated in two of Dayna’s CAMP training sessions and found it incredibly valuable to reflect on how we can better support behaviour by assessing the deeper need of each child we interact with. We truly appreciated how Dayna fostered a safe and supportive environment that encouraged open dialogue and collaboration. We are looking forward to exploring and practicing this perspective deeper with many of our Forest Schoolers!
