Judith is a teacher, trainer and consultant. Judith teaches part-time, and also delivers a trauma-informed, violence awareness/prevention programme for children aged 2-6 years.  The programme, funded by the West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit, supports children growing up in areas with high rates of violent crime.

Suitable for: All staff from education settings working with children 3-8 years

Format: 60-minute zoom webinar; 45 minutes presentation 15 minutes Q&A

When working in early years settings, there will often be a child in our presence who has experienced trauma. We do not need to know a child’s story to accommodate their needs.  We can work in a way that anyone in the room, with a degree of trauma, will be able to feel safer, co-regulate and will know they are ‘held’.  During this session, you’ll learn the basics of taking a trauma-inclusive approach; ways to prevent occurrences which may activate a child’s fight/flight/freeze/flop response; adapting both our personal approach and making small, but impactful adaptions to the environment to become more trauma-inclusive; encouraging relationships to help children emotionally regulate.
