Life in the Classroom

Workshop description

The training also explores Executive Functioning and how early trauma can impact on this.

What they said about our courses:

Adoption UK Charity ​The training from Adoption UK was perfect for our school staff. The sessions explained how early trauma, loss and attachment difficulties can affect brain development and gave us all a valuable insight into how to adapt our practices to be more trauma aware. The content of the sessions applied to so many children, not just those in care or adopted.Highly recommended!

Without reservation, I fully endorse Adoption UK’s parent support programme…it will continue to provide adopters  with excellent training and support for years to come.

Before the course there seemed to be no hope for our family, now we have grounds for real optimism.

I was delighted with the training. I found the content incredibly useful and interesting, and I left feeling inspired and motivated. I have given the content a lot of thought since yesterday and have started to change my way of thinking already.
