We work with schools and education settings to introduce the principles and practices of attachment aware and trauma informed practice
Children and young people need well-regulated adults to offer support for emotional wellbeing. Schools and educational settings play a vital role in creating supportive and understanding environments that aid recovery and healing from stress and trauma.
Our experienced team of education practitioners turn science-based knowledge, into practical learning tailored for you, incorporating attachment aware and trauma informed practice. This knowledge supports you in understanding the science behind behaviour, and how to support people with trauma prevention and recovery.
Our learning offer will increase your confidence and resilience in supporting children, young people and colleagues, helping you and those you work with to have more good days at school.
Our models of practice
Five to Thrive

Brains grow when we do 5 simple things. Five to Thrive describes a sequence of relational activities that builds healthy brains.
Mending Hurts

Mending Hurts is the KCA model for promoting recovery from trauma by enabling people to notice what they, or other people, do in their most effective interactions with vulnerable and traumatised people.
Creating Connections

We know that healing and recovery happen best when we're part of a community - when we come together and build resilience. Creating connections focuses on trauma prevention and recovery, building capacity for self-healing communities.
Emotional Me

Emotional Me is a mental wellbeing and emotional resilience programme for education practitioners who work with children aged 3-11. The course, which comes with tailored resources for each year group, is designed to equip nursery staff, teachers and teaching assistants with essential knowledge in how to empower children to understand human connectedness, emotional literacy and resilience building, which can then be delivered to their class.
AATRIButES

AATRIButES offers a practical approach to bridging the gap between trauma theory and practice. It is a way of supporting professionals to notice what they are already doing in practice that builds connected relationships and promotes recovery from trauma and will showcase strategies used in schools to meet the needs of children, young people, families and colleagues who are impacted upon by trauma or have unmet needs.
Leadership Revolution

Leadership has always been complex, but more so now than ever. The context in which you lead is in constant flux and you are increasingly being required to navigate change and uncertainty. The Leadership Revolution helps you better understand recovery leadership and address stress arising from uncertainty
This course has been a breath of fresh air. Rachael as a trainer delivers from a place of real knowledge in theory and in practice.
It has provided a reflective space for our SLT in a very busy world of new directives, it cuts through it all and holds the child at the very centre.

This course made complete sense in many ways, and helped remind me of the reality behind the behaviour and patterns we see (from our young people, and staff) in college. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and expertise... quite inspiring!

Really informative course. Lots of opportunity to discuss your thoughts with your own colleagues so you didn't feel that you were sitting and listening the whole time. This also meant that you could always apply what was being discussed to your own school.
