New Training Announcement! 6 Strategies for building strong connections with kids

I’m so excited to announce my newest training – 6 Strategies for Building Strong Connections with Kids. As I talk about in all my other trainings, building strong relationships is really the foundation for all trauma-informed care, particularly in schools.

We cannot expect to get anywhere with the students or kids we work with without first building a relationship based on mutual trust, respect and compassion. This relationship becomes the basis for digging deeper into a child’s past experiences to better understand their words, actions and behaviors. By doing this, we can then provide them with the supports they need most and set them up for success in their school and home environments.

This professional development will cover the benefits of strong relationships for both children and adults and 6 key strategies that can be used to build, strengthen and maintain strong relationships with kids. This training is applicable to just about anyone who works with kids, from teachers and social workers to school counselors and childcare workers.

The strategies that are covered (in much greater detail) are:

  1. Know Their Story
  2. Be Human
  3. We are Family
  4. Build Them Up
  5. Thoughtfully Interact
  6. Be an Advocate
