JMT Fostering invites you to a FREE professional development workshop focused on trauma-informed care, led by renowned expert Dr. Karen Treisman. This is an invaluable opportunity for both current and prospective foster carers in Scotland to deepen their understanding of the impact of trauma on children and gain practical strategies for creating a healing and nurturing environment.
This half day workshop explores how behaviour is communication from a trauma lens and how it can tell us a story and give us clues about the child's inner world. We will bring “case studies” to life using some poetry, some anecdotes, and some powerful images around how behaviour is communication, and how we need to learn to see the person behind the behaviour.
This will also give attendees a way to make sense of behaviour and of ways to communicate how behaviour is communicated to others.
What you'll gain:
- Learn from Dr. Karen Treisman, a leading expert in trauma-informed care.
- An understanding of how behaviour is a means of communication.
- Insight to how children have coped, survived, protected themselves, and adapted in the context of trauma.
- Network with other foster carers and professionals.
- Enhance your professional development and make a real difference in the lives of children.
Who should attend?
- Current registered foster carers in Scotland - from any agency.
- Individuals in Scotland exploring fostering and considering becoming foster carers.
