ACE's and Attachment Theory Training for KCC Foster Carers

Brief Overview

This workshop explores the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on children’s development, using robust research from the field of Attachment to deepen carers understanding of Developmental Trauma and the Attachment based strategies which effectively support children who have experienced trauma to thrive.

It builds on foster carers knowledge of Attachment Theory applying key concepts to everyday life, giving foster carers the opportunity to reflect on the dynamics created when children have an Insecure Attachment Style and to consider ways of helping their children develop a healthier attachment style through their everyday interactions with them.
