Trauma Informed! Building Skills in Emotional
Identification and Regulation - A 2 Day Online Course on -19th and 20th May 2025
Building Skills is for young people struggling to manage harmful explosive behaviour by helping them improve their ability to know and name their emotions and what they are feeling. For example: by developing the sense of interoception and building the mind/ body connection.
Interoception is an internal sensory system in which the physical and emotional states of the person are consciously or unconsciously noticed, recognised, and responded to. Difficulties in interoception can mean a young person may not spot the physical symptoms of stress, such as a fast heart rate or nervous butterflies.
Skills practice in interoception and mindfulness can help young people to become more aware of bodily sensations and their link to emotions. Helping them to remove themselves from tricky situations at the first sign of trouble. If you work with young people who do not know why they behave in the way, they do sometimes. this two- day course could be for you.
The accompanying manual provides 1:1 exercises and video resources for young people who need help to regulate their emotions to prevent violent outbursts.
