Sensory Regulation Training
March 18th and 25th
Children with developmental trauma or additional learning needs often face great difficulty in regulating their emotions and behaviours. This can lead to a number of challenges in providing these children with the effective support that they deserve.
Thanks to high demand, we are hosting another Online Sensory Regulation Training course. This course will take place over two days, and teach you practical skills to help children with additional sensory needs.
We have a limited number of subsidised £25 slots for parents and students.

Wales Needs Wings
Wales has never been far from trauma, but generations have gone unheard. We must intervene in order to end this cycle of hurt for our children.
Wales also has a history of resillience and compassion. What we need now, is a sense of urgency.
Early treatment of trauma, means that less youths will become statistics. We must Act Now, Not in a Minute, to give the next generation their greatest chance at life.
