How to Connect with Troubled and Troubling Young People
23 Sep 2021
About the event
Those of us wanting to support troubled and troubling children and young people can feel deskilled and apprehensive when trying to relate to them; but finding the right approach can help them to flourish within our communities. The research shows that a sense of real connectedness with just one caring adult in their lives is enough to end their sense of aloneness; anger; feelings of being misunderstood; and prevent them from doing to others what was done to them. Hence the essential need for this course; especially when so few adults are specifically trained to work therapeutically with this challenging age group. This day will provide participants with an insight into the inner world of challenging children and young people. It will explore; how to better understand and negotiate the inner world of troubled and troubling young people; and how emotionally nourishing interactions can help them return to a more flexible and creative way of living
Our innovative and sector-leading approach to care and education doesn’t only benefit our pupils and high-trained staff. We’re also proud to be a beacon of best practice for the specialist care and education sector, offering a range of professional training programmes.
We believe that by sharing knowledge and striving for continual development and improvement within the care and education sector we can improve our industry and transform the futures of children and young people across the UK with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
