Schools
Trauma-Informed Workshops, Program Development, and Support
Teaching children with attachment difficulties can be exacerbating. Moment to moment these young people can be charming, manipulative, engaging, and destructive. In other words, they can be extremely difficult to teach. Using Teaching in SPACE™ as a foundation for learning, we work with teachers and administrators to create engaging and informative trauma-Informed workshops, to assist schools in developing a trauma-informed educational culture, and to support teachers who are providing trauma-informed classroom instructions.
Among the workshops we have provided to educators include: “Connecting the Disconnected: Teaching Trauma-Exposed Children in the Classroom,” and “Techniques for Teaching Children & Youth in Foster Care.”
Treatment
clinical supervision and trauma-informed CEUs
In our seminar series, therapySPACE™, we draw upon our extensive training and experience to help clinicians understand how trauma impacts the brains and bodies of traumatized youth, the impact of trauma on a child’s brain and body, the child’s neurological responses to trauma, and the basic developmental stages that are often missed when trauma is present. This seminar also addresses the diagnosis of attachment-related problems by introducing participants to the attachment cycle and the difficulties that arise from absent, blocked, or insecure attachment. We present and demonstrate the foundations of treatment while detailing the core elements of therapySPACE™ which offers clinicians a number of proven, integrated therapeutic avenues and techniques for treating children and youth who experienced trauma in early childhood.
The seminar series also offers clinicians approaches to helping the parents of trauma- and attachment-disordered children. It focuses on providing clinicians with safe, engaging, non-shaming interventions that will enlist them as therapeutic partners and teach them the basics of “therapeutic parenting,” a way of being with their children and changing their behavior.
We also offer individual and group clinical consultations.
