Hope for Learning-Early intervention trauma- and attachment-focused training for early childhood education and childcare professionals.
2024-01-28 08:30 - 16:30 | Foursquare Early Learning Center, 17750 Glasgow Ave, Lakeville, 55044, United States
Attachment ruptures and developmental trauma derails healthy development for young children. The effects of trauma and attachment is particularly challenging for educators and day care providers to address because young children often don’t express the distress they are feeling in a way that’s easily recognizable, and they mask their pain with aggressive or off-putting behavior.
It is vital that teachers and childcare providers are aware of the signs of trauma and attachment issues and how to implement protective factors and respond appropriately.
This is a private event training and not open to the public for registration.

2024-04-24 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
TOPIC: Hope for Healing
FACILITATOR: Sue Badeau
This special training lasts for 6 hours, split into 3 parts and will replace our usual support calls for parents and caregivers in April, May, and June. This training is all about attachment, which means understanding how we connect with others. It’s based on science and can help if you’re having trouble with children’s behaviors. The ATTACh team, with their funny and kind approach, will teach us how to bring hope and healing to the kids we care for. In the training, we’ll learn about how adults and kids form bonds, how our brains react to stress, what behaviors might show there’s a problem with attachment, and ways to parent or teach that focus on building strong connections.
