NEW COURSE: Elements of Understanding

Elements of Understanding

Training Programmes for Professionals

‘Children are not slates from which the past can be rubbed by a duster or sponge, but humans profoundly affected by what has gone before.’

John Bowlby (1951)

Archimedes offer courses to support the long term development of children and young people in a range of contexts and ‘Our Elements of Understanding’ series of workshops considers:



• What effects a child’s early experiences have on their ability to learn and ‘succeed’ in life


• Why some children struggle in school and fail to even begin to tap into their potential


• Why some children’s behaviours appear to be ‘out of control’


• How can professionals and others help to make a difference?



Why train with Archimedes


These inspiring and practical workshops, led by education specialists and experts in the field of Early Trauma and Attachment will give you a greater understanding, confidence and skills in working with vulnerable children and students. There will be fresh new insights based on the latest research on brain development and trauma as well as practical strategies which can be immediately implemented.


When
These courses are five days in length and each day can be attended independently or the series will create the ‘big picture’ through Introductions, strategies, Insights, personality profiles and visioning, personal mission statements and use of the outdoors

Quotes
"As a result of the positive impact of a staff team training day, run by Ruth Adams, we organised a 'Nature, Nurture & Trauma' day for our foster carers; there was an excellent response to this day and more carers than ever before booked in. After the event we got excellent feedback from the carers from an informative, inspiring and fun session. Exploring the connection between personality and behaviour promoted a better understanding of self and others and a willingness to adapt. A further day is being planned at the request of foster carers." Lynn Scott - Team Manager - Derbyshire Social Services - Family Placement Team

"Ruth offers a fascinating insight into all aspects of child development from birth to adolescence. Absolutely everyone who has anything to do with children would benefit from her expertise and warm, engaging and motivating style - Parents, child carers, youth workers, teachers, counsellors and other professionals. New insights, fresh strategies, increased understanding and so much more. I thoroughly and warmly recommend Ruth's invaluable training to you and your team." Faye Smith (Keep Your Fork)
