“I think it’s important to remind ourselves about the complex nature of ‘hidden’ feelings and emotions that care experienced children are experiencing every day, as many are unable to talk or disclose these feelings. This training has provided us with different strategies so we can deal with new behaviours presented, so we are well prepared.”
