This training is designed to support foster and kinship carers, adoptive parents and social care professionals with effective therapeutic parenting skills. Backed by cutting edge research on the neuroscience and psychology of parent-child interactions (over 800 research studies), it aims to enhance the mental health of both carers and children, through both stress-reducing and rewarding ways of relating. Delegates will learn how to address blocked trust, behaviours that challenge, re-enactments of the original trauma, and interventions that heal troubled minds.
