Description
This course provides a warm and encouraging review of what you've learned before, along with a gentle reminder to keep things fresh in your memory. It then guides you through an assessment, where a score of 80% or higher signifies success. The focus is on trauma-informed caregiving, highlighting important principles, the PACE model, and helpful strategies for handling challenging behaviours. It aims to equip caregivers with practical tools to create nurturing and supportive environments for children who have faced trauma. Here are some key takeaways:
- Review trauma principles. Understand how trauma impacts children and approach them with compassion.
- Master the PACE model. Apply Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy to build trust and connection.
- Recognise triggers. Identify emotional triggers and help children manage their responses effectively.
- Prioritise self-care. Maintain your mental health to ensure you can provide consistent and effective care.
- Knowledge and skills assessment. You must achieve at least an 80% success rate to pass this course.
- Complete a learning review to demonstrate that learning has been retained, and show it by passing a 60-question post-review assessment with an 80% pass rate.
By applying these principles, you can create a safe and nurturing space for children to heal and thrive.
