Training for Adoptive Parents / Foster Carers and prospective Adopters
By fully understanding their child’s story, parents can develop
additional healing responses to their children. This two day
workshop will help adoptive parents understand the impact of
their child’s early history on their social and emotional
development and their behaviour.
The course will: provide parents with a model for understanding
the healthy social and emotional development of children growing
up; support parents’ understanding of the implications of how
early trauma disrupts their children’s healthy development, and
why this often makes adoptive parenting uniquely challenging;
provide understanding of how children’s behaviour is a
manifestation of painful experiences, and often an indicator of
unmet emotional needs; identify a range of strategies that will help
children to heal emotionally; help parents develop a range of
responses that meets their children’s specific needs. |

A seminar for adoptive parents and foster carers, counsellors, therapists, social workers, medical professionals and teachers.
In this seminar, Louise Bomber will explore some of the issues that children can face in primary and secondary schools when they have experienced significant, relational traumas and losses in their early years. Children can sometimes have a distorted view of themselves, others and the school context they find themselves in. They are at risk of being misunderstood and at worst excluded by the very places that could offer them opportunities for second chance learning.
Louise will outline the characteristics of an Attachment Friendly School and the importance of facilitating significant relationships at school in order to develop and practice different relational capacities. She will describe many of the strategies that have been found to be effective in supporting these children to settle to learn and make the most of the opportunities at school. The day will be thought provoking and may challenge our current ways of 'doing school'.
