LIVE EVENT VIA ZOOM!

Wednesday 13^th November 12:00-13:30pm

Touchbase are proud to present the second of many workshops for parents and carers of children and young people who have lived adverse childhood experiences. All our workshops can be accessed online at an introductory price of £10 per person.
Our workshops cover a range of topics on supporting your child/teenager through their educational and developmental journey. Develop your knowledge and understanding and gain new tools and strategies to help your child/teenager make the most of their opportunities at home, at nursery, school or post 16 provision and elsewhere in the community.

Our second workshop now available – Home-school team

In this workshop we’ll explore aspects of home-school communication, including finding a shared understanding of trauma impact and a consistent approach to support.  We’ll look at helping children with separations and changes and what we can do if our young people present quite differently at home and school.  We’ll also consider the importance of cohesion across the home-school team and the implication of splits.

Our TouchBase presenter Michael Reeves
The workshops are presented by Michael Reeves, an Integrative Child Psychotherapist, educational psychotherapist (Caspari) and Specialist Teacher for the TouchBase therapy and education teams. He has over 25 years’ experience of working with children and 18+ years as a qualified psychotherapist. Michael is experienced in using Attachment-Aware and Trauma-Responsive approaches to support adoptive parents, foster carers, special guardians, biological parents and school staff who are caring for vulnerable children and young people. He is particularly interested in how children’s behaviour can communicate the impact that early trauma has on all areas of development – including thoughts, feelings, sensory experience and relationships. Michael is passionate about working with others to build trust and openness with children so that they can feel better understood and we can better understand how to support them.
