Educational Psychology (EP) Reach-Out was created by Dr Nicole Schnackenberg and Dr Sarah Sivers in April 2020 in their role as Educational Psychologists working for Southend-on-Sea Educational Psychology Service (EPS). EP Reach-Out was developed in response to the changes in working brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the hope of building online connections in a time of physical distance. EP Reach-Out is still going strong 3 years later and we have recently welcomed a group of volunteers, who will help us keep EP Reach-Out innovative and exciting.
​
EP Reach-Out is aimed at young people, families, education settings, trainee Educational Psychologists, Educational Psychologists, aspiring Educational Psychologists and other professionals including social care, occupational therapy and child and adolescent mental health services.
​
The aim of EP Reach-Out is to ‘reach out’, share and learn from psychological theory, research and insights on a range of topics. EP Reach-Out is a community of practice welcoming friends from across the world to present and view the webinars. We are so grateful for the connections and friendships we have made through hosting EP Reach-Out.
​
EP Reach-Out collaborates with the wonderful Dan O'Hare and team at edpsy.org.uk This involves linking webinars and blog posts to give a wider audience to the innovative research, projects and ideas being created by education professionals. Read more about our collaboration in this edpsy & EP Reach-Out blog
We would also like to thank the Association of Educational Psychologists (AEP) for their support in promoting the webinars.
​
EP Reach-Out continues to have a close connection with Southend EPS and the Southend-on-Sea City community; we appreciate their support, which has been provided from the very start of this project. We are also very proud to have written a journal article (Sivers and Schnackenberg, 2021) and a book chapter (Schnackenberg, Sivers & Powell-Davies, 2022) which provides an overview and evaluation of EP Reach-Out.

EP Reach-Out invites you to join us and Share-Connect-Learn

Recommended webinar
This is a beautifully presented webinar providing ideas to gently support children to ask for help. Dr Mary Stanley-Duke, with the support of her rabbits, gives an overview of 3 skills (ANT) that parents (and teachers) can use. There is an emphasis on listening, scaffolding and working together. Really useful and useable ideas.
