Trauma
Informed Practice
- Workshop
- In-person
Session Overview
UK schools are increasingly recognising the importance of supporting the mental health and well-being of children and young people. Many children, particularly those with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), see school not only as a place to learn but as a safe haven—a space where they can find stability, understanding, and the opportunity to embrace positive experiences. By prioritizing the needs of the child and fostering environments of care, schools can play a transformative role in supporting resilience and growth.
Creating safe, supportive learning environments is essential to fostering resilience and unlocking potential in every child. Trauma-informed practices sessions provide educators with the knowledge and strategies to nurture students effectively. Grounded in research and focused on kindness, curiosity, and meaningful belonging, these sessions offer a pathway to transforming education with empathy and care.
