A Trauma-Transformative Approach

Healing the hearts, minds and lives of children and young people who have experienced trauma

At Nikki Butler Consulting, we are passionate about inspiring change and transforming lives. Our trauma-transformative training is designed to provide evidence-based theory with practical strategies to create lasting transformation that empowers individuals to thrive.

Our training sessions are provided direct to your organisation, arranged with you. We also welcome combined service training.

Healing young hearts, minds and lives is possible when healing goes beyond trauma-aware to trauma-transformative.

Course overview

This course focuses on a transformational process of healing for children and young people who have experienced complex and developmental trauma.

It covers the impact of trauma on child development, attachment, emotional regulation, behaviour and learning, as well as recognising when trauma is activated within the nervous system and body from the conscious and unconscious mind.

It applies a relationship-based approach to healing, from trauma-aware to trauma-transformative, drawing on neuroscience, attachment, the child’s language of harm and protection, and the powerful stories within their survival strategies.

“Within every child’s experience, there is a unique story and opportunities for post-trauma growth and transformation”.

2. Appling healing strategies from trauma-aware to trauma-transformative
3. Recognising and responding to indicators of trauma being activated consciously or unconsciously
