Compassion Fatigue, Co-Regulation & Attachment (with Empathy from PACE)(5/5): OPEN COURSE

* This is advanced level training for those that have already done a minimum of "PACE Foundations" course * Please book all five modules to enable full implementation of PACE.

Caring for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, trauma, and loss is incredibly demanding. The adults around these children must prioritise their own mental health and well-being to meet the complex needs of these children effectively. Compassion fatigue, a state of emotional and physical exhaustion, can impact carers. Co-regulation involves managing one's own emotions and assisting others in regulating theirs. This course emphasises the significance of forming secure connections with individuals who have experienced trauma and responding to their needs with compassion. These concepts are crucial for providing effective care and support to those in need.

Please ensure that you have completed the PACE Foundations course beforehand.
