Key points covered in the workshop:

  • If adults involved with traumatised children are unable to manage their own emotions, this can escalate children's distress.
  • Effective help requires intervention that is congruent with neuroscience, developmentally relevant, and relational.
  • The key adults in helping children recover from trauma are their carers and teachers. They require relevant support and training to be most helpful to traumatised children.
  • Crisis-oriented care organizations may exacerbate trauma and undermine the efforts of committed practitioners.
  • Post-traumatic growth and resilience is possible. Traumatised children need hope and adults involved with them must believe in a positive future for them.
  • How trauma can lead to violent extremism, what does radicalisation look like and feel like?
  • How to adopt and apply trauma responsive systems to build resilience against radical exploitation within care settings.
