Course description

When something challenging happens to an individual or group of people or to the whole school, it sends out what we can think of as ripples of trauma, disruption, dysregulation and distress.  

This course will help you understand the impact of those ripples, not only for those at the epicentre of a crisis, but also for those who may be positioned where different sets of ripples intersect, to help you think about how best to respond, individually and as a team.  The course focuses on attachment aware and trauma informed responses.  It develops resilience, and is strengths-based - starting from what works, affirming what you’re doing really well already, and hopefully provides more information and ideas for you to think about and work with to enhance your preparedness, confidence, and practice.  You will be better placed to contain the dysregulating, disrupting and distressing effects that challenging incidents and events create, and better able to meet the ripples of trauma with hope, compassion and stability.

You will have continual access to this course for 12 full months.
