Helping Children Thrive Through Connection, Not Compliance

Shift from managing behaviour to building connection. This therapeutic approach supports children through safety, trust, and emotional growth—not stickers or sanctions.

Traditional behaviour management strategies—like rewards and sanctions—often fall short, particularly for children with complex needs. This approach offers something different: a trauma-informed, relationship-based way of supporting children, rooted in empathy, safety, and trust.

Join us for this free, practical, and thought-provoking webinar designed to equip those working with children and young people with the tools to move beyond traditional behaviour management. Explore therapeutic, relationship-based strategies that support emotional growth, reduce distress, and create lasting change for children with complex needs.

Why Attend This Webinar?

Are your current behaviour management approaches truly meeting the needs of the children in your care?

As a Registered Manager or care staff member in a residential children’s home, you know that traditional reward and consequence systems often fall short. What if there’s a better way to support young people while creating a more therapeutic environment?

This isn’t just theory—it’s practical, evidence-based approaches that recognise the reality of residential care settings. You’ll learn how to:

  • Respond Without Punishment::

    Learn how to support young people through dysregulation using compassionate, non-punitive strategies.

  • Recognise Without Shame:

    Create individualised recognition approaches that don't trigger shame or comparison

  • Shift from Sanctions to Relationships:

    Support your team to move from reactive sanctioning to thoughtful, relationship-based approaches

  • Build Boundaries and Trust:

    Maintain clear boundaries while building secure relationships

  • Document with Integrity:

    Document progress in ways that satisfy regulatory requirements without compromising therapeutic integrity

What You’ll Learn

  • Why traditional reward and sanction systems often fail young people who have experienced trauma, and the neurobiological reasons behind this
  • The critical missing elements in many care approaches: understanding trauma, attachment, and toxic shame
  • Therapeutic alternatives that work WITH the brain rather than against it
  • Practical, implementable strategies you can begin using in your setting immediately
  • Solutions to common challenges like managing group dynamics, supporting staff consistency, and meeting regulatory requirements
