Description:
Transforming Lives, One Word at a Time: Trauma-Informed Language for Practitioners Working with Children and Young People
"Language Matters and Words Have Power, from a Trauma Perspective," presented by the Educational Psychology Service.
How we speak about young people and their lives and experiences matters. In this insightful online program, you'll delve deep into the psychology of language and its formative role in shaping children and young people’s realities.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how language sculpts self-perception and worldviews
- Cultivate a trauma-informed vocabulary to create spaces of safety and trust
- Recognise and replace diminishing labels with affirmative, strengths-based terminology
- Develop linguistic practices that empower children in mainstream, specialist, and care-experienced settings
This is an opportunity to think about how you communicate with children and about the young lives you impact daily; a chance to equip yourself with the tools to inspire resilience, healing, and post-traumatic growth through the power of conscientious language.
