The training provides delegates with key insights into the psychology and neuroscience of mental ill-health and challenging behaviour alongside vital tools and techniques in knowing how to respond to a child’s narrative of painful life events.

The curriculum covers a wide range of key models to support transformative relational interventions, the use of creative media to help support sense making of life experiences, whole school implementation of trauma and mental health informed practices, how to support children and teenagers who suffer from depression, anxiety, self-harm, display behaviours which challenge and much more…
