Non-Members Live Classroom – Communicating with Traumatised Children delivered by Prof. Richard Rose

The course provides an opportunity to consider communication techniques for traumatised children aimed specifically at those working with children between 3 and 18 years of age. The course will introduce theories and practice rich in examples as well as inviting contribution and group engagement. Those who attend will have the opportunity to try out these techniques and to actively consider their current work and evaluate how these approaches might benefit their service users. The session will include different approaches and those who attend will be able to use many of these in their day-to-day practice.
