TESSA is pleased to be able to offer this workshop for parents of adopted young people.
Sensory Processing, Social, Emotional and Cognitive Intelligence awareness Training. This workshop is funded by the PHA through the Clear Project
Topics
Children today are presenting with a lot more emotional, social and cognitive challenges. Social and emotional intelligence underpins the body’s ability to self-regulate, to become calm and to manage and express emotions.
This workshop will have an element of practical activity within it and will develop the following outcomes:
- You will understand the complexity of sensory development and how the sensory system controls all
aspects of our function including emotional, social, and motor - You will understand connection and attachment and the implication of retained early reflexes and
how traumatised children cannot regulate their fear response - You will fully appreciate the implications of developmental trauma: – sensory development,
dissociation, attachment development, emotional regulation, self-esteem, lack of identity and
cognitive development - You will understand and identify the behaviour that indicates sensory over responsiveness and
sensory under responsiveness within the home - You will gain insight of triggers for engaging in fight/flight or dysregulation
- We will understand how to support regulation
- You will discover breathing techniques and using YOGA to enable a child to coregulate, feel safe and
grounded
