Why is this training essential?

Attachment is the foundation of a child's emotional and psychological development. When early relationships are disrupted by trauma, abuse, or neglect, children may struggle with self-regulation, relationships, and trust. Understanding these challenges allows professionals to provide meaningful support that fosters healing and resilience.


This training dives deep into the effects of developmental trauma on the brain, highlighting core challenges and interventions to support children and young people effectively.
