Target Group

This course is for foster carers, adopters and Supervising Social Workers. In addition, this course is for Residential Child Care Workers (RCCW) and residential team managers from mainstream, short-breaks and outreach services.

Also relevant for youth workers, education professionals and those in the community and voluntary sectors.

Aims

• Explore methods to co-regulation with the young person leading to self-regulation.
• Explore bodywork (drawing from the book "The body keeps the score"), including activities that can lift children out of Dissociation or bring them down from hyper-vigilance.
• Explore calming methods in sensory integration (Sucking, pushing, pulling and swinging) to aid regulation.
• Explore resilience - using narration, social stories and role play.
• Exploring mindfulness models, books and tools to empower children and support them in finding methods to move forward out of trauma effectively. This will include skills to help us be present with the young person to aid mindfulness.
• Exploring transition and supporting children with leaving safe places such as lockdown and integrating what they have gained in the everyday world. This will include methods that they can use in stressful situations.

Learning Objectives

• Understanding the impact of childhood trauma on the body and the brain.
• Understanding how the brain and body adapt to cope (Dissociation and hyper-vigilance)
• What does each state look like, and why it occurs?
• Understanding the window of tolerance model and how to support children to widen their window so that they can engage in the therapeutic process.
• Understand the importance of the "window" and that if it remains limited, the child is prevented from taking part in the therapeutic process.
