Protective Behaviours - ‘safety’ is at the heart of a WSA - creating a physical and emotional safe space for all, where connection and relationships can flourish, and all children and young people feel they belong. The PB process explores how an individual can keep themselves safe and what, if they are not feeling safe, they can do about it”.

A HeadStart Live Event: Vicarious Trauma and Lived Experience
A HeadStart Live Event: Vicarious Trauma and Lived Experience
Date: April 29th
Time: 4.30 – 7.00pm on Zoom with a scheduled break
Cost: Free to attend
We are working with more and more complexity and with children and young people who are living with and around trauma. For those children and young people, the impact of trauma upon them is that they are more likely to face additional social and emotional challenges. A rise in the numbers of children in care in recent years, the aftermath of the pandemic and an increase in poor mental health intensifies the complexity. The extra needs this presents can be incredibly stressful which can become overwhelming. Vicarious trauma is a real concern for those working with children and young people and limiting emotional distress is paramount to ensure that settings provide the best support and care.
In this session, you will:
- learn more about the different types of responses to exposure to those have experienced trauma
- deepen your understanding about the stress response system
- risk factors and protective factors
- collective care and self-care strategies
Drawing on her research, in this second part of this session, Lisa will invite attendees to consider a variety of lived experiences that may be shared with those we are working with and how this is an emotional labour that can require extra care.
In this session, you will:
- consider lived experiences
- learn more about supporting colleagues
- develop a deeper understanding of marginalisation and stigmatisation
