CPD Psychology Training for Professionals

We regularly develop and deliver training courses for professionals working with children who may have experienced trauma or who have additional needs. Our CPD courses are developed in-house by highly experienced clinical psychologists and psychological therapists, and always include an extensive evidence-base. We can also develop bespoke CPD courses dependent on the demand.

Preverbal Trauma: Webinar and Workshop

Research tells us that early trauma significantly affects the brain, particularly in the first few years of life. But how do babies and young children store these traumatic experiences when they haven’t developed language or explicit memory yet? This webinar aims to help professionals working with children, young people and families understand why.

Trauma-Informed Caregiving for Residential Care Staff

This one-day course for residential carers is designed to be an informative, interactive and interesting way for carers to learn more about caring for children who have experienced early trauma, abuse or neglect.

It provides an in-depth overview of the knowledge and strategies incorporated within therapeutic caring.

Supporting Traumatised Children in School

This half-day course is designed to provide teachers and school support workers with an overview of attachment and trauma, and how this may impact some children in school. It also includes practical strategies for supporting children who have experienced early adversity and trauma in a school setting.

Understanding and Supporting Parents/Carers in Blocked Care

This 1-day training course for professionals aims to help social workers or support workers understand the research and theory behind blocked care, as well as provide practical strategies for assessing and supporting adopters experiencing blocked care in their family situations. It also helps enhance knowledge of good practice for how social workers can respond and intervene in order to work through indications of blocked care.

Bespoke training

We regularly develop bespoke training courses depending on an organisation’s needs. We can deliver bespoke courses in-person or online, or at our specialist training facility in Stoke-on-Trent. If you are interested in a specific training course for your staff or team, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

Training packages

If you wish to block-book a selection of training programmes, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us. We would be happy to recommend a training pathway to suit the needs of your team. This may include existing training programmes or bespoke courses individualised for your organisation.

We can also provide consultation packages, providing ongoing support to your organisation or team after a training course has concluded. For example, some organisations choose to arrange monthly consultation sessions with staff to help support and develop knowledge and skills for supporting children with additional needs.
