Trauma Informed & Positive Psychology

Workshops For Schools 

Empowering Educators to Support Student Mental Health, Emotional Regulation & Resilience.

Schools are more than places of learning, they are emotional ecosystems. Every interaction, every classroom, every policy shapes how safe, regulated and supported both students and staff feel. These CPD/CE accredited workshops are designed for teachers, school leaders, pastoral teams and SENCOs, to provide the knowledge and tools needed to create truly trauma informed, psychologically safe educational environments.

Whether you're working in early years, primary, secondary or alternative provision, these workshops offer a practical and compassionate approach to supporting mental health, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing in school communities grounded in the latest nervous system science and positive psychology.

Why This Training Matters?

Challenging behaviour is often mislabelled when it is actually a sign of dysregulation or unmet emotional needs. Many students (and staff) are operating from a survival state due to chronic stress, trauma, or lack of emotional safety. Without training, these patterns are misunderstood, leading to disconnection, frustration and breakdown in trust.

These workshops offer both trauma informed awareness and positive psychology tools so that staff can respond to behaviour with understanding, regulate themselves in the moment, and foster environments where students can feel safe, calm and ready to learn.

Staff will leave with the tools to...

Recognise and respond to trauma responses in the classroom.

Co-regulate students in distress without escalating situations.

Manage their own nervous system to reduce burnout and reactivity.

Build classroom culture rooted in trust, connection, and resilience.

Integrate wellbeing and emotional literacy into everyday teaching.
