with Kirsteen WiIshere

Workshop details:

We experience an event or situation as traumatic when it overwhelms our ability to cope and we feel a lack of control. Living as a neurodivergent person in a world where we are expected to present as neurotypical, there is often a lack of understanding of ourselves due tothe late diagnosis or misconceptions around neurodiversity.

Kirsteen will explore the concept of trauma informed practice and how trauma impacts us, moving to how we can support ourselves and our children to heal from the impact of trauma.

The webinar addresses the experiences children have in environments that they are unaware of or unable to respond appropriately to their needs and the impact this can have.
