Early Years Training

Practitioners need to understand how young children's brains are shaped by their early experiences and how they can respond to and support children who have experienced trauma. This training provides an overview of the impact of trauma, looks at traumas of omission and traumas of commission and provides practical ways in which you can respond to help and support the young children in your care.
