DDP resources for back to school transition series!

Next is the podcast episode "Educating students with blocked trust with Dr. Kim Golding" on the Trauma Informed Education Podcast with Dr. Govind Krishnamoorthy, Dr. Kay Ayre & Kim S. Golding.

“Helping students feel safe is a hall mark of trauma informed education. For some children, feeling safe in relationships is difficult. Well intentioned teachers often fall short in the skills required to communicate and reinforce a sense of trust amongst these students. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Kim Golding about her book, ‘Working with Relational Trauma in Schools‘.”

Are you a professional supporting school age children?

This online workshop explores how we can better support children moving from primary to secondary school, or between elementary, middle and high school. These can be some of the most significant transitions in their lives, especially for those who have experienced developmental trauma.

Learn about applying the principles of PACE to support school transitions, how relational safety and regulation can be nurtured in school environments, and the impact of systemic challenges on Black and brown children and how these intersect with trauma responses.

Lucy Joy is a Creative Arts Psychotherapist, DDP Practitioner, Dramatherapist and is EMDR Trained. She is a freelancer in private practice working with families and adults who specialises in developmental trauma, dissociation and racialised trauma held within the mind, body and soul.
