About this Event
Youngballymun is delighted to host a special professional development morning with Dr Amanda Jones on the topic:
“When the roots of loss and trauma run deep”
This thought-provoking workshop will offer practitioners a supportive space to come together and reflect on intergenerational trauma, particularly when working with families whose experiences of loss and trauma may run deep.
The morning will provide opportunities for professional learning, reflection and shared discussion with colleagues who support parents, babies and families.
