For parents & caregivers
These workshops use real-life scenarios, case studies, and group discussions to help parents and carers apply their learning and explore shared experiences in a supportive environment.
Side-by-Side Coaching and Mentoring
For professionals
During observation, coaching and reflective practice sessions, you are given the opportunity to work directly with children alongside Connected Self facilitators, where appropriate. Trauma responsive practice is role modelled in the real-world setting, supporting you to make the transition from theory to practice. This also provides opportunities for you to reflect on your approach with Connected Self facilitators to identify areas for future growth and practice refinement.
