Children and adolescents who survive multiple experiences of loss, trauma and attachment disruption very often face complex and profound difficulties, which can be understood as ‘Developmental Trauma’. As professionals working to enable traumatised children and families to heal and repair, we can become paralysed and stuck alongside them because their mind and body aren’t yet ‘ready’ to take in the therapeutic support and relationships we can offer them
This online training course explores how professionals can overcome this barrier – by developing robust, creative and trauma-informed strategies which help to stabilize children and build their capacity to regulate their emotions. Informed by cutting edge neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology and our wealth of clinical experience here at Beacon House, participants will be offered a practical, inspirational training enabling them to support children and teens to expand their window of tolerance, and be less triggered into hyper-arousal (fight, flight, freeze) and hypo-arousal (dissociation, collapse). Although the focus of this training is children and young people, the learning is also highly relevant to regulation work with adults.
Learn how to identify and understand how survival modes (fight/flight/freeze/collapse) help traumatised children and teens organise themselves around threat and dangerThis training is for any professional working with children and young people who have experienced trauma, loss and adversity. Colleagues in Mental Health, Social Care, Education and Youth Justice will find the training particularly relevant. Participants do not need to be qualified therapists to benefit from this training as emotional regulation is everyone’s business!
