This two-day seminar requires a scientific understanding of what happens to children’s brain development when they are forced to survive without the comfort and joy of secure relationships. Moreover, they will display how their most recent reasoning about their model of treatment can include intergenerational family interventions. The principles in the model can be applied beyond the family, to associations and the larger community where trust building and a human association is integral.
Through the use of case studies, participants will:
- Gain understanding of how to support the trust building process.
- Explore the concepts of attachment when working with traumatized children and adolescents.
- Learn about relational processes (including PACE, follow-lead-follow, story telling, reprocessing of fear-based relational memories, safe recovery of the ability to feel social emotions, and affective/reflective dialogue).
- Understand how relational processes can repair mistrust in children’s brains with consistent “safety messages” and enable a trust building process to emerge.
- Learn practical strategies that can be applied in any work setting.
This workshop is a must for child protection workers, child and family therapists, foster care workers, residential careworkers and any professionals who support kinship carers and families who are looking after children affected by violence, abuse and neglect.
