For parents and carers

SPACE (Supporting Parents and Children Emotionally)

SPACE is a free 5-week programme for any parent or carer who wants to better understand and support their children’s emotional wellbeing, as well as their own.

Over the course of this educational programme, you will explore:

  • Understanding what is meant by a Trauma Informed approach.
  • Understanding toxic stress and the flight/fight response.
  • Practical approaches to support children to regulate their emotions.
  • Healthy coping strategies for dealing with stress.
  • Managing different emotions.
  • Understanding behaviour.
  • Building resilience in ourselves and our children.
  • Adopting appropriate expectations of children.
  • Enhancing your ability to provide nurturing care.

Many professionals across Cornwall are now trained to facilitate SPACE, some work in schools and some work in community-based organisations, so please do check in with them to enquire about a programme being delivered near you!
