Understanding trauma
Take a closer look at the different types of trauma, recognising and processing trauma, and the application of the Solihull Approach in trauma and recovery. This course also looks at understanding community trauma and organisational trauma with tailored tools and strategies to navigate them.
Understanding attachment
For a deeper understanding of attachment, explore relevant theories and consider practical case studies for enhanced, informed practice. This course explores the phases and timing of attachment development, as well as the quality of an attachment and epigenetics.
Understanding brain development
Throughout antenatal, childhood and adolescence, the brain develops and responds to its environment and relationships. This course equips practitioners with the knowledge to better understand development, behaviour and the impact of adverse childhood experiences.
