Training information

This is an introductory 28-hour training course relevant to professionals and therapists who have experience in communicating with and working therapeutically with children and young people and their families. It is focused on families and residential care homes when children have experienced past developmental trauma and have associated attachment difficulties.

Training Aims / Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course participants will understand:

  • The impact of secure developmental attachment on neurological, affective, cognitive and behavioural development
  • How developmental trauma (abuse and neglect) create insecure and disorganised attachment patterns which impede normal development.
  • Principles of psychotherapy, effective communication and parenting that facilitate the development of attachment security.
  • Specific strategies of parenting and communication that facilitate the development of a secure attachment and help children integrate past trauma and abusive experiences.
  • How the caregiver's attachment history and attachment patterns can be important factors when providing care for children who have experienced developmental trauma.
