Healing Together
Helping the world feel a safer place for children with developmental trauma
Welcome to Adenydd
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have a profound impact on children's lives. We are here to provide support and information for children affected by ACEs and their families and the practitioners who support them. We understand the challenges they face and believe in the power of healthy relationships. We offer a range of resources, services, and projects tailored to meet the unique needs of our children and families. Our team of dedicated professionals is committed to helping the network of people around our children to support their development of regulation, develop positive supportive strategies, and build healthy, trusting relationships. We strive to create a world that feels safer for every child affected by adverse childhood experiences and developmental trauma.

Our training courses empower and equip educators, practitioners and families to provide the best education, care and support for our children. We offer support to better understand and meet the unique needs of our children. Explore our resources and join us in making a positive impact on their lives.
We offer consultations for schools and services, as well as families, who are seeking support and guidance in making sense of children's needs in their current situation and in light of their adverse childhood experiences. We are here to help you understand how to best offer support to our vulnerable children.
Our Projects
Read on to learn about the projects that we have run and that we are able to offer to your service or setting.
Feeling Just Right
Feeling Just Right
This project uses sensory activities and foods to help children learn how to regulate themselves at a sensory level.
Sunshine Circles
Sunshine Circles
This project incorporates playful, cooperative and nurturing activities that enhance children's emotional well-being. Instead of talking about positive social behaviour, the group leaders and children DO positive social interaction.
Sensory Regulation
Sensory Regulation
We help staff to better understand trauma responses, which often are seen as ‘challenging behaviours’, and provide strategies to support children with regulation.
Testimonials
Read more case studies here.....
“T had been swearing, hitting out, pushing, kicking, throwing toys, etc. It was evident that he has experienced a great deal of overwhelm this week and has struggled to feel safe in school. He has frequently requested Sunshine Circles nurture activities this week, such as the blanket, the lotion and the Choob and straw.”
Additional Learning Needs Co-ordinator
"Much more settled on a class level – much more cooperative, asking questions and not wandering as much. More engaged in class activities and responding well to all class staff."
