Training

We offer training using a tool called the 'Umbrella of Protection' that offers strategies to support families in managing stresses and anxieties. All children need to feel mentally safe. This does not mean that they need to wrapped in cotton wool, but means they must feel secure and happy in their lives. Feeling mentally safe allows children and adults to be at their most productive and be ready to form secure attachments and learn. When children suffer with anxiety they often experience unsafe signals. These signals trigger the brain into a fight or flight mode causing regular outbursts of extreme emotion. We coach you as a family to support your child to reduce their anxieties through our Umbrella of Protection Training.
