When a child experiences loss, the way adults respond can shape how they process grief for years to come. ❤️‍🩹

Children and teenagers do not grieve in the same way adults do. Their understanding of death, their emotional responses, and the way they express loss are deeply influenced by their developmental stage. This makes specialised skills essential for professionals supporting them. 📙

Join us for Bereavement Counselling for Children & Teenagers, a practical training course designed to help practitioners confidently support young people through loss.

In this training you will explore:
• How children understand and experience death at different developmental stages
• The emotional and psychological impact of bereavement on children
• The role of the practitioner when supporting grieving children and families
• A structured therapeutic approach for bereavement-focused work with children

The training includes 2 hours of pre-recorded learning followed by a live online contact session where practical techniques and demonstrations will be shared. 💻

📅 Date: 15 April 2026
🕘 Time: 9:00 – 13:00
💻 Location: Online
💰 Cost: R1800
📌 SACSSP CPD: Pending

Presented by Dr Louise Aucamp & Illana Karam

Working with trauma requires more than compassion — it requires sound theory, structure, and practical skill. Without this foundation, we risk feeling overwhelmed, ineffective, or unintentionally doing more harm than good.

Our Structured Trauma Therapy training equips professionals with a solid theoretical understanding of trauma and the neurobiology behind it, alongside a clear, structured approach to trauma therapy. You’ll gain practical skills in emotional regulation, motivation for therapy, and working safely in the here and now using a bottom-up approach. 🧠

This training is ideal for professionals who want to work ethically, confidently, and effectively with trauma — grounded in evidence-based practice and real-world application.

Before we begin divorce counselling with a child, we need to understand where they are developmentally. 🧡

Children don’t experience divorce in the same way at every age — their reactions, fears, behaviours, and coping strategies are shaped by their developmental stage. As professionals, knowing this isn’t optional — it’s foundational. Developmentally informed practice helps us respond with empathy, tailor our interventions, and truly hear the child behind the behaviour. 🧠

In our upcoming course on Divorce Counselling for Children, we’ll be breaking this down in detail, and discussing how we can support children therapeutically during each stage ❤️‍🩹

When working with children who have experienced trauma, it is essential for professionals to understand foundational concepts behind emotional regulation such as:

🧠Emotional regulation begins in the body
🧠Co-regulation precedes self-regulation
🧠Repetition builds neural safety
🧠Breath, movement, rhythm, and sensory input calm the brainstem
🧠Emotional awareness strengthens regulation
🧠Regulation must be mastered before trauma processing

Any form of trauma therapy starts with stabilizing the nervous system — because healing requires safety first. 🧡
