The Course

Our online Childhood Trauma and Attachment Training is designed to introduce carers to important childhood trauma theory. It is made up of four models.  Each session looks at a different important topic that will teach them about the brain, behaviour and development of the children they care for. These modules are designed to support carers in beginning to adopt a trauma-informed approach. This programme is full of ideas, strategies and advice that carers can take away and begin to implement straight away. With a therapeutic approach at its core, this is an essential course for anyone caring for vulnerable children and young people.

Learn about attachment disorder and how it impacts a child or young person.  Find out how to identify attachment disorder and how it may impact the behaviour and thinking of those you care for. Learn to support them by ensuring you are not triggering attachment style behaviours that remind them of their trauma. Full of practical strategies and advice about what does and doesn’t work in the home and at school.
