SUMMARY:SUPPORTING COMPLEX BEHAVIOURS with DDP PACE
DESCRIPTION:Brain-based attachment model for supporting children\, young people and families/carers\nThis training is for those who work with\, teach\, provide care or parent children and young people who have experienced the damaging effects of abuse\, neglect and disruption. The underpinning model is Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP). Developed by Dr Dan Hughes as a central part of attachment-focused family therapy\, the approach supports adults to get beyond the behaviour and defences of children in their care by developing an attitude of Playfulness\, Acceptance\, Curiosity and Empathy (PACE). PACE enables adults to build safe\, trusting and meaningful relationships with young people who have experienced trauma. \nPACE is a way of thinking\, feeling\, communicating and behaving. The approach focuses on building trust\, strengthening emotional connections and shared experiences\, developing a sense of security and containing heightened emotions. Using PACE helps adults to slow down their own reactions\, stay calm and attune to what the young person is experiencing in the moment. It sends signals that make it safe to be sad\, share moments of joy or seek comfort. In tricky moments it helps stay emotionally regulated and guide the young person through their emotions\, thoughts and behaviours. In turn\, PACE helps the young person feel more connected to and understood by adults in their life. It helps to slow down their own responses and break down the wall of shame and mistrust many feel. \nBut being consistently PACEful can be challenging. Especially when working or living with young people whose adverse childhood experiences have altered their trust of adults and their intentions. Their heightened emotions\, mistrust and behaviour\, can in turn affect how adults care for them and themselves. Preventing blocked care and further disruptions importantly requires self-care and reflective space for adults to maintain a PACEful attitude. By helping participants to understand and respond to the impact of relational trauma on both the young person and the adult\, the workshop aims to reduce the spiral of failed relationships suffered by many young people who have been removed from their birth families. \nIn this two-day workshop the focus is on PACE in action\, by giving you the foundations to support your development and motivation to use the PACE attitude. It is aimed at a wide range of professionals and adults who work with\, teach\, support and provide care for children and young people who have experienced the damaging effects of abuse\, neglect and disruption. This includes foster and kinship carers\, birth families and parents\, workers supporting birth families and foster and kinship placements\, residential care staff\, youth workers\, teachers/educational staff\, as well as professionals working within Child Safety\, Youth Justice and other support roles. Reading materials\, video clips and activities support and reinforce each area covered. \nDay One \n\nIntroduction and connections\nCultural issues and the Australian context\nBrain Development\nAttachment\nPACE: what it is and isn’t\nWhat stops us being PACEful? – blocked trust and fear of connection\nPACE in action\n\nDay Two  \n\nMore things that stop us being PACEful? – shame\, values & attitudes\nBlocked Care\nSelf Care\nPACE in action\n\nPost-workshop \nFollowing the workshop you are invited to access 2 hours (2 x 1 hour) of online group coaching to help build your confidence and connect you with others using PACE. \nParticipants must complete the workshop and two coaching sessions to receive a certificate. Four dates are available and you will be asked at the workshop to choose two as listed below: \n\n20 & 21 November and 4 & 5th December\n\n
