New research has demonstrated the impact that trauma and attachment has on behaviour, socialization and learning.

This workshop was designed by a therapist, specializing in early childhood trauma and attachment, and a special education teacher, with expertise in working with the most difficult of school-based behaviours. The combination of these two areas of specialization has led to a dynamic and practical workshop.  Participants will leave with a new understanding, and new vision, for educating their most challenging students.

The workshop will cover the developing brain; how fear changes the way we think; the alarm state and hyper-arousal; the S.E.T. Response for teachers; new interpretations of attachment behaviours; helping students achieve self-regulation; how to build relationships with hurt students; how to set firm limits with true empathy; and becoming the thermostat for your classroom.
