Dealing with Emotions, Well-Being and Stress Management

Understanding adult attachment, the emotional impact of caring, managing transitions, care breakdowns, and self‑care strategies.

This training is designed to provide professionals supporting children in care with an understanding of the need to take care of themselves. When unable to prioritise self‑care, it becomes harder to maintain the emotional capacity needed to provide consistent, high‑quality support. This course explores adult attachment styles, the emotional impact of caring, managing endings and transitions, understanding care arrangement breakdowns, and practical strategies for self‑care.
