What difference will this make to your practice?
Participants will be able to start making difference in their practice immediately. They will be able to respond to children affected by relational trauma in a supportive and healing way.
Participants will be more aware of vicarious trauma which will enable them to be able to better support colleagues who may be suffering from vicarious trauma and be able to better look after themselves,
We know the most important aspect of healing for children affected by relational trauma is the relationship with a strong, kind, wise and calm adult. This training supports all adults working with young children to be that safe person for young children.
