More information
Transitions, endings and changes can be difficult for all children, but they are particularly challenging for children and young people who have been affected by trauma and/or poor early years attachment. These students may find it difficult to change from one activity to another, from structured time in school to unstructured activities, from one year group to another and of course, from primary to post-primary. They often find the end of term very unsettling and can exhibit distressed behaviour around endings. This webinar will look at transitions and endings through a trauma-informed lens and suggest practical ways in which school staff can help these students to manage all types of transitions.

A trauma responsive approach to bullying
Bullying of all kinds can be difficult for schools to deal with – particularly when trying to work with the student being bullied and the student who is the bully. Bullying can affect individual students and whole groups of students. This webinar will look at a trauma responsive approach to understanding and dealing with bullying, from whole school approaches to working with individual children and young people.

INTRODUCTORY WEBINAR
Trauma in the classroom: The basics
This introductory session introduces the topic of trauma in the classroom and explains the different types of trauma that children may have experienced or may still be experiencing. We also delve into the collective trauma that everyone has experienced as a result of the pandemic and how this may show up in the classroom.
This longer interactive session is run as a workshop, marrying evidence-based trauma theory with real practical techniques. The aim is to help schools manage this trauma and minimise the impact on staff and students alike.
This is a unique opportunity to see for yourself how Trauma Responsive Education works and get real practical takeaways to bring back to your classroom.
Note: This webinar is best suited to educators who are new to trauma theory and its practical application in the classroom

WEBINAR:
The quiet, withdrawn child
Are you worried about a quiet, withdrawn student in your class? Often these students get overlooked because so much of our time is taken up by those students who ‘act out’ but trauma affects children and young people in different ways. For some, their response is to withdraw and disengage.
In this webinar we will look at understanding the possible reasons for such behaviour, what types of trauma might have occurred and practical tips for school staff to use to support these students.
This advanced webinar will be more useful to those who have attended an introductory webinar or training course already.

Webinar
Understanding intergenerational trauma: breaking the cycle
Intergenerational trauma is a psychological term used to describe the transfer of trauma from one generation to the next. A classic example would be substance abuse that causes a cycle of addiction and anxiety to persist in families. In this webinar we explore the effects of intergenerational trauma and how this type of trauma might show up in our education systems - not just amongst students but also amongst the teaching staff themselves. We will talk about the latest research on breaking these negative cycles and how these can be applied in schools.

Webinar
A trauma responsive approach to managing anxiety in teaching and learning
The uncertainty and changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic are fuelling much anxiety amongst teaching staff. Juggling remote teaching with other committments is particularly draining. And worry about the safety of new routines and fear of spreading the virus may cause many staff members to be anxious about returning to school again. Schools may face challenges from parents at a time when they are having to put plans in place with minimal experience of their effectiveness and ever changing plans. This webinar for school staff will look at ways of understanding and working with these anxieties and dealing with any possible conflicts arising from misunderstandings and fear.

Schools may face challenges from parents at a time when they are having to put plans in place without any experience of their effectiveness.

Webinar
Becoming a trauma responsive school: auditing your practice and developing the trauma informed pathway. Moving from surviving to thriving
We have all now been affected by the community trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic but there have always been students in our schools affected by traumatic events. These students often appear as challenging, withdrawn or disengaged from learning. Despite the best efforts of staff, these students find it impossible to settle to learn. But we also know that that schools already have approaches and interventions which provide support and help to these students.
This webinar offers a trauma informed framework for schools and staff to audit their current practice, to identify what they are doing well and where further support and training is needed.
