This training is designed to assist community organisations, charities and others supporting refugee children and youth in the UK.
Crisis and conflict have direct and profound effects on one's physical safety, well-being and ability to learn. This training explores the causes, consequences and ways to support refugees (at the individual and organisational level) to cope and overcome trauma and toxic stress and rebuild their lives in the UK. The training also covers practical tips on how to embed community building into activities. There is also an optional session on social-emotional learning (SEL) for organisations interested.
Training is available as bespoke in-person training for organisations, or as online training sessions across the whole of the UK. Find our more about upcomming sessions on the Healing Spaces training page.
The best part of the training was being able to contribute and hear from others working in similar situations. Amazing ideas and advice!
