Key Content
This workshop, supported by participant engagement (questions, polling and feedback), will bring focus to the following evidence-based content.
- Adopting a personalised, growth-focused and intentional approach to understanding and responding to children with trauma backgrounds.
- What is trauma and its impact on children and young people, with a focus on brain functioning, a child's feeling states, how children seek to get their needs met and how it impacts on children's level of awareness, developmental skill and mindsets (how they see themselves, others, their world and future).
- Trauma-based behaviours as coping responses (including iceberg modelling).
- Areas of growth intent (or focus of scripts, strategies and intervention) for children and young people with trauma histories.
- Relationship-focused scripts, strategies and methods to 'respond to the needs' of children and young people with trauma histories, and grow their capacity to heal and overcome their circumstances.
- Responding rather than reacting to behaviour and balancing behaviour management versus behavioural growth.
- What is intentional trauma-responsive caregiving and teaching roles.
