Children in Scotland

This event is in the past

Key Learning:

Exploring how a child’s body reacts to perceived threats and stressors

Understanding the role of the senses and attuned relationships in creating a healthy brain body connection

Using a proactive, collaborative approach to support the development of self-regulation

This training is for practitioners supporting children and young people who require additional support to stay regulated and connected.

Background

The lived experiences of our children and young people today are different from those of a decade ago. Many children suffer from relational poverty which impacts on how they view and interact with the world around them. Traditional systems and interventions for supporting children, who become distressed while navigating the demands of everyday life, are no longer fit for purpose.

This training explores the importance of the brain, body connection and how through attuned relationships and co-regulation we can begin to support children to develop the capacities that they require to regulate their own stress responses.

Prior learning required:

Participants should have a basic understanding and working knowledge of attachment theory and the impact of childhood trauma.

Facilitator

Nicola McAllister is a trainer and consultant who specialises in Child Development and Behaviour. She has over 25 years’ experience working with some of our most vulnerable children and young people while providing training, consulting and coaching services to those adults who support them.

Nicola’s background is in Education. She has worked within mainstream settings as well as specialist provisions for children experiencing social, emotional, and behavioural needs. Her training and consultancy work has branched across several sectors including early years, fostering and adoption teams, community groups and supporting parents and carers at home.

Using neuroscience informed approaches, she supports adults to create environments that will soothe stress responses within the child, reconnect safe and secure relationships and develop self-regulation for long term success.
