Attachment & Trauma Training for Caregivers in Wolverhampton, West Midlands
Are you a foster carer, adopter, kinship carer, special guardian, or parent raising a child who has experienced early trauma? At Susan Vickers Training, we provide practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed Attachment & Trauma Training designed to help caregivers support children affected by early life loss, separation, or instability.
Children who have experienced trauma often communicate their pain through behaviour. This might look like ADHD, autism-like behaviours, anger, withdrawal, or feeling “off the rails.” Our training helps caregivers respond effectively, build connection, and create a safe, trusting environment.
What You Will Learn
Our Attachment & Trauma Training equips caregivers with the skills and knowledge to:
- Understand attachment trauma: Learn how early experiences of loss, separation, or instability affect brain development and emotional regulation.
- Recognise trauma responses vs. neurodiversity: Identify when challenging behaviours are rooted in trauma rather than a child’s neurological profile.
- Respond with connection, not conflict: Discover strategies to respond calmly and effectively, reducing power struggles and promoting emotional safety.
- Build trust and safety: Create predictable routines and nurturing environments that help children feel secure.
- Support emotional regulation: Learn practical tools to help children manage anxiety, anger, or withdrawal.
- Reduce caregiver stress: Manage feelings of shame, overwhelm, and isolation in your home through self-care and support strategies.
