| Extra Info | : | Join this webinar to hear from experts as they explore the research evidence alongside the learnings and share insights from parents who have faced traumatic events with their children. Supporting a child or young person after a very difficult or distressing event can feel overwhelming, so often you’re left wondering about the right thing to do or say and fearing that you might make things worse. Should you talk about the event, and if so, how? What if it keeps coming up in the news or on social media? When should you be more worried and seek specialist help? As a parent or caregiver, you may also be directly impacted by the event yourself or may be deeply affected by knowing that something awful has happened to your child. As a professional you’ll be wanting to guide parents and caregivers in how to support their child to give them the best chances to adjust, rebuild and recover. Join this webinar to hear from Prof. Sarah Halligan, Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service User Consultants Tanya Odamtten and Nicole Belfon, and UK Trauma Council Co-Director Consultant Clinical Psychologist David Trickey. Together they will explore the research evidence alongside the learnings and share insights from parents who have faced traumatic events with their children. Through presentation, discussion and a Q&A they will consider the context of the event as well as the need for practical approaches that are culturally sensitive and inclusive. |
