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'.
About the facilitator:
Louise Michelle Bomber is qualified as both a teacher and a therapist. She has worked with individual pupils, classes and whole school settings, teachers and support staff across both the primary and secondary phases. She has provided consultations and training for education, health and social services. She currently works as an Adoption Support Teacher for the Adoption & Permanency Team in Brighton & Hove and works with and supports children & young people in care in a private capacity. |
