Trauma-Informed Care (with Acceptance from PACE)(3/5): OPEN COURSE

* This is advanced level training for those that have already undertaken our "PACE Foundations" course *

This is the second instalment of a comprehensive five-part series, and it is highly recommended to proceed in sequential order for optimal outcomes. Book the full PACE bundle here.

This training is your key to unlocking the power of trauma-informed care. It will help you understand trauma's impact on children and adolescents and equip you with the essential practices to make a difference. It is imperative to embrace trauma-informed care when supporting children and young people who have faced neglect, rejection, or abuse.

Delve into psychological theories and research to deepen your understanding of this crucial issue. Without proper support, these individuals may experience neurological, developmental, and psychological challenges, even in a secure, nurturing environment.

Throughout this course, you will gain practical resources and strategies to enhance your therapeutic engagement using the covered techniques. Additionally, we provide recording methods that can help you effectively demonstrate your work to Ofsted and other partner agencies. Don't miss this opportunity to make a lasting impact!

Ensure that you have completed the PACE Foundations course beforehand.
