Introduction to DDP PACE in Education Training, Louise Kilshaw

Please join us for this Introduction to DDP PACE in Education Training.

This course helps education professionals develop a PACE mindset as part of their practice. DDP PACE trainings are provided by DDP PACE Trainers, supported by DDPI Worldwide.

It covers the following elements:

1. Why children who have experienced developmental trauma experience the challenges that they do.
2. The impact of developmental trauma that leads to children needing a different teaching approach, involving PACE alongside regulatory and behavioural support. This includes the impact of relational trauma on brain development.
3. Exploring each part of PACE in turn – Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy. Looking at what each one is (and what it is not) and developing PACE as a way of being able to build relationship security, rather than as a technique to modify behaviour.
4. Exploring the caring capacities education staff need to help traumatised children to thrive and settle to learn – reflective capacity, mind-mindedness, good self-regulation abilities and ability to notice defensive responding and to move back into open and engaged states.
5. How to use emotional connection alongside regulatory and behavioural support and deliver discipline with empathy.
6. The importance of self-care for professionals and understanding the concept of blocked care.
