Course Description
Do you know why it is so important to look after yourself? This workshop focuses on you, the caregiver. Many of life’s experiences affect how we care for our tamariki (children). Understanding this is important in maintaining a calm stance in your caregiving and helping your tamariki heal.
We will discuss the importance of self-care and social support to help you maintain resilience. We will also explore how to manage the emotional impact of caring for traumatised tamariki. You will be able to understand the impact stress and feeling overwhelmed has on your brain, which then impacts how you respond to certain behaviours displayed by your tamariki.
Learning Objectives
1. To consider the importance of social support and looking after self.
2. To explore how to manage the emotional impact of caring for a child.
3. To increase understanding of brain-based parenting and blocked care.

Please Note
Our training delivery is focused during terms 2 and 3, with reduced workshops during terms 1 and 4, as we know this is the busiest time of year for caregivers. We also do not facilitate training during the school holidays. Therefore, during certain periods of the year we have limited courses available on our training calendar.
If you are interested in participating in a training that you cannot see available on our training calendar, please get in touch with our Training Coordinator, Dagmar, by emailing her HERE.
