In this session we will be exploring a little of the world of Neuro-science as we begin to unpack the basics of brain development and developmental trauma. Sound scary?? Don’t worry – we’ll keep it simple and grounded as we discover a little more of how we are fearfully and wonderfully by a loving God who has built hope and the possibility for healing and restoration into the very fabric of creation!

We will be using Daniel Siegel’s super simple but very brilliant ‘Hand Brain’ model as we explore what is going on when we ‘flip our lid’ and we’ll dig into some practical tools to help us respond when that might happen as well as some useful strategies to help children and young people feel safe and avoid times of dysregulation.

This session also includes the Wonderful Me! ABC to creating trauma-informed safe spaces!
