Therapeutic parenting training courses and psychological training
Children and young people who have experienced a difficult early start may need a particular kind of care and parents might need to use a different way of responding to challenging behaviour. These specialised techniques can be quite different to more ‘typical’ parenting strategies. That’s why we offer a range of therapeutic parenting programmes to help parents, carers and professionals support their children and young people. Our programmes are developed in-house by Gateway Psychology and delivered by highly experienced clinical psychologists and psychological therapists. We also develop and deliver psychological training for professionals, such as social workers, teachers and other therapists.
eTR-UST Therapeutic Reparenting
eTR-UST is an 8-week therapeutic reparenting course for parents and carers of children who have experienced early trauma, abuse or neglect. It is suitable for adoptive parents, SGO carers and foster carers. It is delivered virtually in a group environment using Zoom.
Drawing on ideas and research from experts in the industry, this course provides in-depth theory and practical strategies to help parents and carers understand and support the needs of their children. It also offers parents and carers the opportunity to meet and support other parents in similar situations to them.
Adolescence, Attachment and Building Connection (A-ABC)
Adolescence, Attachment and Building Connection (A-ABC) explores attachment in teenagers, including their brain development and how this applies to adolescents who have experienced early trauma.
This in-depth therapeutic reparenting programme demonstrates how many of the brain changes that occur during adolescence mean that teenagers lose some of their previous skills and abilities, and introduces the implications of this within a history of attachment and developmental trauma.
CPD training for professionals
In addition to training courses for parents and carers, we regularly deliver CPD training courses for professionals. Our evidence-based courses topics like ‘Supporting Traumatised Children in School‘ or ‘Pre-Verbal Trauma.’ These can be delivered virtually or face-to-face, depending on requirements. We also develop bespoke CPD programmes upon request.
Our training courses for professionals are developed in-house by our highly experienced team of clinical psychologists and psychological therapists. They are backed by extensive research and resources on how trauma affects the brain, and always include practical strategies to help professionals support the children and young people they work with.
Webinars and e-learning
We offer a range of short courses available to complete online. Covering topics like managing diagnoses and empathetic reflection to pre-verbal trauma and managing self-harm, our clinicians have developed a variety of e-learning webinars to help support parents, carers and professionals. These are available in a variety of formats, either hosted live or available to watch on-demand.
