Once again we are proud to partner with Richard Rose, Honorary Associate of Berry Street, Director of TLSWi (UK), Adjunct Associate Professor of Social Work and Social Policy at Latrobe University and Honorary Associate at the Institute for Open Adoption Studies, University of Sydney. Richard Rose is a leading expert on Therapeutic Life Story Work and working with 'hard to reach' children and young people.

Richard will work with practitioners to enhance their engagement with children and young people affected by early life trauma. Through his innovative and creative techniques, Richard will demonstrate ways of working that enable placements to become healthy and nurturing through enhanced understanding of attachment and trauma, with the ultimate goal of helping these young people achieve their full potential.

If you are a professional working with children and young people affected by early life trauma in child protection, out of home care, youth work, education or involved in recovery work with children and families in need, this is a wonderful opportunity not to be missed.

This Session

There are many ways that we can communicate with young people – this webinar will introduce techniques that help those impacted by traumatic events that have become drivers to their present day and affecting their adolescents, and separation from parental figures to adulthood. Based on the successful one day training course delivered by Richard Rose, the most effective interventions are shared in this two hour presentation. Often young people find it hard to engage and speak about their experiences and internal hurts. This seminar will present ideas that have been tried and tested by Richard and have had the best results.  Attendees will learn to use ‘cause and effect thinking’, ‘Ishakawa’ and ‘Eco mapping’.

Please note that there is some overlap in content between this workshop and the Introduction to Therapeutic Life Story Work workshop.

Who Should Attend

Those currently working with young people aged 12 - 21 will benefit from attending this session. The techniques and approaches are suitable for professionals working with young people affected by early life trauma including those working with young people in out of home care, teachers and education support workers, youth workers and clinicians.
