About this event

This engaging and practical course introduces professionals to the principles and application of trauma-informed practice with children. Grounded in psychological theory and real-life experience, the session explores how to recognise the impact of trauma, respond to it with sensitivity and skill, and design environments that are safe, predictable, and healing. From relational approaches to therapeutic communication, participants will leave equipped to create spaces where young people feel seen, supported, and empowered.


Why It Matters
Many children and young people have experienced adversity that shapes how they relate to others, manage emotions, and engage with support. A trauma-informed approach shifts the focus from “what’s wrong?” to “what’s happened?”, building connection, trust, and understanding. Whether you work in a school, residential service, family support team or community organisation, trauma-informed practice is essential to improving outcomes and reducing the risk of re-traumatisation.


Course Highlights
– Core concepts of trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and their lasting impact
– Attachment theory and the role of secure relationships in recovery and growth
– Creating psychologically informed environments that support safety, regulation and learning
– Fostering therapeutic communication and emotional literacy
– Adapting your approach to suit different developmental stages and learning styles
