SUMMARY:DYADIC DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOTHERAPY - Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy/ Practice (DDP) is an intervention model developed by Dan Hughes\, Clinical Psychologist (U.S.A.). DDP is family-based and is focused on facilitating the child’s readiness and ability to establish a secure attachment with his/her caregivers. It is called Dyadic Developmental Practice both to focus attention on the importance of reciprocity in parenting\, caregiving and therapy\, and also to draw attention to the fact that abuse\, neglect and trauma can seriously impact on the child’s developmental age and stage. This intervention is theoretically based on the models of attachment theory and intersubjectivity\, and is consistent with the needs of children and young people who have experienced developmental trauma. It is an approach that: \n\nIntegrates the areas of neurobiology of trauma\, early child development and attachment theory\, to produce a therapeutic and parenting approach that assists professionals to understand and effectively support children with trauma- attachment problems\, and their families.\nCommunicates playfulness\, acceptance\, curiosity and empathy (PACE) in order to help the child regulate their feelings (often fear\, shame and anger) associated with past experiences and to create together new meanings to be integrated into the child’s life story (autobiographical narrative).\nRecognises the vital role which adoptive parents\, foster carers and residential workers play in the recovery of traumatised\, attachment-resistant children.\nProvides a set of principles that can support networks; inform and enrich parenting; and can support the child outside of the home eg in residential settings and at school\n\nParticipants are referred to the Healing Relational Trauma with Attachment Focused Interventions which underpins this training. \nDDP Level One Training\nThis is an introductory 28-hour training course relevant to professionals and therapists who have experience in communicating with and working therapeutically with children and young people and their families. It is focused on families and residential care homes when children have experienced past developmental trauma and have associated attachment difficulties. \nBy the end of this course participants will understand: \n\nThe impact of secure developmental attachment on neurological\, affective\, cognitive\, and behavioural development\nHow developmental trauma (abuse and neglect) create insecure and disorganised attachment patterns which impede normal development\nPrinciples of psychotherapy\, effective communication and parenting that facilitate the development of attachment security\nSpecific strategies of parenting and communication that facilitate the development of a secure attachment and help children integrate past trauma and abusive experiences\nHow the caregiver’s attachment history and attachment patterns can be important factors when providing care for children who have experienced developmental trauma.\n\nIn this four-day training\, principles and interventions are presented through formal discussion\, case examples\, videotape of therapy sessions\, role-play\, and hand-outs. \nA MAXIMUM of 24 participants is permitted. \nPresented by: Leah Millward \nAudience: This training is suitable for professionals who have experience in working with children and families/parents/caregivers affected by relational and developmental trauma and attachment difficulties.This could be with parents\, foster parents\, kinship carers\, or caregivers\, such as in residential homes. \nMental Health Professionals: All mental health professionals including\, but not limited to Clinical Counsellors\, Psychologists\, Psychotherapists\, Psychiatrists\, Social Workers\, Nurses\, Occupational Therapists\, Mental Health Workers\, Family Therapists\, Child Protection and Disability Workers\, Guidance Officers\, Speech and Language Therapists\, Residential Care Workers and Foster Support Workers\, and all other mental health professionals looking to support young people and their parents/carers. \nDDPI Worldwide: DDPI Worldwide is the global Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Practice training and certification institute.

SUMMARY:Resilience In Our Teens™ for Parents
DESCRIPTION:Refer parents of anxious teens to \nResilience In Our Teens™ for Parents\nParenting has got to be the hardest job on the planet – but it’s also the most rewarding. We are often plagued with worries as parents – will our teen do well in life\, will they be happy and safe\, how will they cope with future problems. \nBut sometimes it can seem like our teens are burdened with their own anxieties too. Everyone becomes anxious\, but how do we know if our teen’s anxiety is out of the ordinary? Sometimes it can be hard to tell if their worries are anxiety\, or just a part of normal day to day life. \nResilience In Our Teens™ is a child development course that aims to support you and your teen through the ups and downs of life. It is what we call a ‘parent-led’ approach\, meaning that you take on the role of the coach in your teen’s life\, and are able to guide them through emotionally distressing episodes. Designed & developed by psychologist\, author and teacher Michael Hawton\, it equips you with a practical and easy set of tools\, and a solid understanding of the theory behind these to enable you to build resilience in your child. \nThis course includes an anxiety screening test pre-course commencement. You will be required to fill out two short surveys before commencing the course. You will be posted a parent workbook for use during the webinar and a FREE copy of Michael Hawton’s book Engaging Adolescents for paid registrations. \nHeld over three sessions with psychologist Ruby Otero \n11th November from 6.30 – 8.45 pm \n18th November from 6.30 – 8.45 pm \n25th November from 6.30 – 8.45 pm \nregister here – https://www.parentshop.com.au/parents/resilence-in-our-teens-parents \n
