Trainer: Dr Leslie Ironside
A one day training for adoptive parents, foster carers and/or practitioners that will cover: · The effects of trauma, abuse and neglect on child development and attachment · Linking theory with behaviour and possible strategies to help parents and carers deal with the emotional impact of their child’s early experiences. The aim of training is to provide a framework for understanding traumatised children’s behaviour and the impact on carers as well as working towards strategies for dealing with difficult behaviours. Dr Leslie Ironside is a child and adolescent psychotherapist working with children and families in Brighton. He has over 18 years experience of working with children and theri families. Dr Ironside recently published an article in the BAAF journal in which he describes the difficulties faced by carers when dealing with the effects of abuse, neglect and deprivation on their child’s behaviour (Living a provisional existence: thinking about foster carers and the emotional containment of children placed in their care Vol 28 No: 4 Winter 2004). Dr Ironside is able to capture the sense of chaos felt by some children and the traumatizing effect this can have on parents and carers and relate this to theories of attachment and child development. This understanding of behaviour can in turn lead to the development of strategies for dealing with and managing the behaviour of children who have suffered trauma, abuse or neglect.
