The Three Pillars of Transforming Care course has been developed for Agencies that wish to ensure that their staff and carers are informed about and sensitive to, the developmental impacts of early adversity and trauma. It focuses on the three core traumagenic needs of children and young people in special care and education settings and the priorities for intervention and support. The three primary traumagenic needs identified are – the need to FEEL SAFE; the need for positive, trust-based CONNECTIONS with caring adults and engagement with community and culture; and the need for support to enable adaptive COPING with external life circumstances as well as turbulent thoughts, emotions and impulses.
The intent of the course is to provide ‘everyday and ordinary’ strategies for care providers to therapeutically meet a child or young person’s traumagenic needs in the other 23 hours.
This course is delivered in Mount Gambier face-to-face or online.
