Without the right knowledge and training, many adults feel hopeless and deskilled when trying to support those whose painful life experiences have resulted in mental health symptoms and relationship distress. This essential training, led by top psychologists, neuroscience scholars and specialist educators, is designed for anyone working with children, teens, or adults affected by adversity. You’ll learn to look past the symptoms and behaviour to the underlying fear, pain and unmet needs. 

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, the training explains how relational interventions create lasting changes in neuroanatomy, neurochemistry and physiology and how it’s entirely possible to interrupt the trajectory from early or later-life adversity to long-term mental and physical ill-health, antisocial behaviour and premature death. 

Trainers include:  Professor Leslie Greenberg , Dr Lucy Johnstone, Pastor Mick,  Dr Margot Sunderland, Vicki Smith,  Dr Dan Hughes.
