Children and teenagers who have experienced high levels of stress, loss or trauma early in life are extremely vulnerable to becoming overwhelmed by their thoughts, emotions and body sensations, especially when they are faced with new challenges and transitions.
Covid-19 has brought with it sudden, unexpected and unprecedented changes to all our lives, and we need to give special thought and attention to how we, as adults, support our children who are already prone to big stress reactions.
Children who learnt early on in life that the world can be a frightening place are likely to fall back to their old ‘coping strategies’, which might lead to all sorts of challenging behaviours and needs. For parents and carers, this can be incredibly tough, and it can leave us feeling unsure about how best to support our dysregulated and distressed child. It can also leave us as parents/carers feeling overwhelmed with our own emotions, making family life all the more challenging and exhausting for everyone.
The seminar has been jointly created by a Clinical Psychologist and an Adoptive Parent. We have brought theory and practice together to create a hands on, practical seminar. The seminar will cover:
This seminar is for all parents/carers who would like to feel better equipped to support their distressed and dysregulated child.
You can choose to buy a single place on this training, or a group licence which enables local authorities and other professional teams to purchase the seminar in ‘bulk’ to distribute to families.
