​
For a school to be truly 'trauma informed' the right training needs to be accessed that goes beyond looking at ACEs and how these present and are assessed. A deeper understanding of dissociation and the causes of it are necessary.
We need to be able to view the child's behaviour within the context of the relationship and as a form of communication.
It is hard to know how to support a child who has been through either sexual, physical or emotional abuse?
Teaching assistants are the bedrock of implementing true trauma informed practice in the classroom. This workshop covers the following
-
Why do children dissociate?
-
How to recognize dissociation in a child ?
-
What type of situation and actions may increase dissociation in an educational setting?
-
How do you provide safety and help regulate the child again?
-
How to deal with 'naughty' behaviour .
-
Why relationships and friendships provide such difficult problems and what teaching staff can do to help?
