Working with young children and families in crisis can be challenging but deeply meaningful. This workshop will support professionals in understanding how adversity and trauma affect the body, mind and relationships in early childhood. Through case examples and practical tools, participants will explore ways to engage families with sensitivity, strengthen children’s capacity for emotional regulation and partner with caregivers to create safe, supportive environments. The session will also highlight strategies for maintaining professional resilience and well-being while supporting families through difficult experiences.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain how trauma affects the brain, body and behaviour
  • Recognise how trauma influences young children’s development and family life
  • Apply practical tools for trauma-informed communication and assessment
  • Support children’s self-regulation and guide caregivers in doing the same
  • Strengthen self-awareness and self-care practices to prevent vicarious trauma

The course facilitators are Mr Joseph Chan and Ms Eileen Boey.

Organised by Sower Institute for Biblical Discipleship & Asian Pastoral Institute
