"I highly recommend Dr Wendy Kelly's training. I have been using her Relational Learning Framework for over 12 years and it has deepened my understanding of trauma, attachment and what lies beneath challenging behaviours in children. Wendy's knowledge is incredible and you will leave the session with a practical framework that will help you to understand the children you work with in a deep and reflective way."
- Testimonial from Andrea Greer, Award Winning Social Worker and Owner/Director at Nurturing Relationships
This seminar explores attachment theory through a developmental lens, discussing how children of different ages negotiate the tasks of attachment relationships, both when things go well and when children are affected by adverse events.
The role of attachment in helping children regulate their emotions and cope with stress will be discussed, along with how children perceive both psychological safety and threat, using polyvagal theory.
