Healing Trauma Conference - The Extra Lesson Institute
Tuesday 14 April : LIVE LAUNCH OF THE CONFERENCE (time 11am AEST)
Friday 01 May : CONFERENCE WEBINARS COMMENCE (time 11 am AEST)
THEME
Healing Trauma - explores the importance of attachment and respectful relationships in nurturing a foundation of resilience across the lifespan.
This conference aims to bring an awareness and understanding of the neurobiology of behaviour and social engagement. This understanding can be applied to trauma, autism, learning difficulties, oppositional and other maladaptive type behaviours, and sensory processing difficulties.
This conference is relevant for everyone who is interested in child development and concerned with supporting anyone who has experienced disruption during their lifetime. This includes individuals, parents, teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists, medical practitioners, social workers, mental health practitioners, disability workers and communities who care about understanding others.
This conference coincides with a time when we need, more than ever, to find empowering ways to meet and transform life’s challenges into meaningful and health-giving opportunities - that not only strengthen connection with one another but also with the Earth itself.
