"Trauma" refers to an event that causes intense and prolonged stress beyond what is considered normal and is exceptionally distressing. Unfortunately, children in foster care often experience such events. This module provides a comprehensive understanding of the signs and symptoms of PTSD, which distinguish it from other trauma-related injuries. We will also explore the reasons why PTSD is frequently undiagnosed and the estimated percentages for children in care.
This training draws inspiration from the latest trauma research to reframe the behaviour of troubled children. By viewing their needs through the Developmental Trauma lens, we can identify complex difficulties that impact their sensory systems, attachment, dissociative responses, cognitive abilities, regulation, and identity. Participants will learn to recognise Developmental Trauma, engage with dysregulated children, and develop a trauma-informed support plan. Consequently, they will feel hopeful and empowered to create positive change for traumatised children.

This option is aimed at an audience with prior knowledge of the subject and isn’t suitable for. Those that are new to the subject would be better with our standard course.
We recognise that sometimes groups need more time for discussions and group work. This can mean that a two-hour session is just not long enough to explore the curriculum and engage in question and answer sessions. So we are you offering the opportunity to extend the session by an hour to allow your trainees the chance to explore the curriculum fully!
