Trauma Informed Practice – Supporting Children and Young People to Heal from Family Violence

Course description

This workshop explores and supports staff to work in a child focused and relationally reparative context with children and young people following experiences of family violence. The workshop will support participants to review knowledge of core constructions of family violence and enhance understanding of the neurobiological impacts of experiences of violence and trauma. It will also explore the importance of relationships as developmental resources and opportunities for repair and consider how staff in schools can support children and young people who have experienced family violence. While this workshop is suitable for all staff it may be particularly useful for staff working with students in a therapeutic role such as professional support staff.

Numbers for this session are limited.
