TWO RESIDENTIAL COURSES IN THERAPEUTIC CHILDCARE

 

Managing a Living Learning Experience

- A residential course for managers and senior workers -

Creating a Living Learning Experience

- A residential course for care workers -


These two courses aim to introduce the principles of working in therapeutic childcare management and
practice. Both courses rely on understanding disordered attachment and early childhood damage to make
sense of distressed behaviour in children and young people and its impact on staff. Participants will be
encouraged to make use of their own feeling responses as a tool for staff management, treatment and
nurturing care. The relevance of approaches based on social pedagogy will also be explored.
