Course content

Day 1: Child Development and Attachment

A guide to child development in the neuroscience age. Awareness of attachment theories and introduction to attachment interventions. Reframing attachment language to engage young people.

Day 2: Monsters and Ghosts - Trauma and its impact on the brain, body and spirit

A modern take on trauma and its unique impact on the child, the carer and those around both. Understand current theory around trauma. Clarity of the uniqueness of trauma and the traumatised child. Short-, medium- and long-term impact of the invisible hurt.

Day 3: Recovery through Hearing, Holding and Loving – CPR and TLSW

How to hear the stories of children and respond to those stories in a non-judgemental and supportive way – using unconditional positive regard as a start point. How to hold the story for the child and use it in such a way that it reduces the preoccupation untold stories take up in our bodies, mind, emotions and spirit.

Day 4: Caring for children and young people with complex needs

Attendees will be more informed of the language of complex need and a guide to current cognitive and social challenges. An overview of the term neuro divergence and how 25 years of knowledge has shaped our current approach.

Day 5: Self Care and the problem with NEWTS

To consider the reality of Vicarious Trauma and its relationship to the NEWT problem – for those curious, we need to consider the concept that we acclimatise before it is too late and to avoid losing a sense of self and emotional safety. To understand the importance of self-care, not only for the carer, but for those they live with, that they love and are dependent on.
