Description
This is one of three courses presented by Mary Walsh based on her extensive experience of working with young children traumatized by abuse. The course highlights the detrimental and potentially lifelong effects of abuse if appropriate support is not offered in a timely fashion. For too long it was assumed that, once children were removed from an abusive situation, they would gradually “get over” their experience. This assumption failed to recognize that traumatic experiences can remain with children throughout their lives. Indeed, we are increasingly recognizing that so much of people’s experience of mental health problems in adulthood has its roots in unresolved childhood trauma. A program of trauma recovery is therefore needed, and that is what Mary and her team developed.
The course gives an overview of the three-pronged approach used in the recovery therapy system, incorporating individual therapy, life story work and therapeutic parenting Mary and her team used over many years and now adopted by a wide range of child care professionals. Recognized as a leading thinker in the field. Mary Walsh has created a therapeutic system geared towards helping children recover from their traumatic experiences. This course will give you important insights into how you can play an important role in helping abused children achieve recovery.
