Parenting a troubled child can be a very stressful experience. There is an overwhelming need to understand what is going on for your child, and most importantly, how to support them in the best ways possible. Whilst there are no ‘magic answers’, often knowing a little more about the difficulty your child is facing, and exploring different strategies to support them can be incredibly helpful.
Parent Seminar: Understanding trauma in your child
It is common for children and teenagers to survive traumatic life events, from domestic abuse to car accidents; serious ill health to parental conflict. The list is long. Whilst children are brilliant copers, big life experiences at any age can lead to post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and other difficulties. We explain what trauma is, and most importantly, how you can support a child who is still living in fear even though the danger has passed.
In this Parent Seminar Series, a Clinical Psychologist will walk you through how to understand the difficulty; and how to support your child in ways that can create change and hope. These are very much ‘how to’ seminars – you will leave with some practical strategies that you can try the moment you get home!
10.30am - 12pm
Open to anybody (18+). Parents do not need to attend every session, please book on to the individual seminars that are of interest to you.
Please be aware that we are not able to offer clinical advice about individual children during this training workshop
