Working with children, young people and families often means working with experiences of loss, grief, neglect or trauma. While these experiences don’t always lead to negative outcomes we know that the impacts of trauma can be significant and long lasting and require specific responses from us. This learning program reviews our understanding of trauma and its impacts but also reflects on what this means for our practice. This program both reinforces previous learning and adds to our toolkit.

Children and young people's experiences of loss and grief can often be overlooked. It can also be challenging to explore loss and grief when associated with experiences of trauma. This learning program explores these concepts to promote a deeper understanding of, and capacity to respond to, children's unique experiences and stories. Theoretical constructs such as disenfranchised grief and chronic sorrow will be explored and then applied to specific ways of working connected to your current practice.

In the dynamic and challenging sectors in which we work, authentic leadership is a necessity - particularly as we continue to focus on the psychological safety of all those we lead.
