The event is being held in collaboration with Alcohol Action Ireland.
Maynooth University is hosting a seminar today to awareness of childhood trauma and adversity, and to highlight the need for trauma-informed practice in Education settings.
The event is being held in partnership with Alcohol Action Ireland.
Hope and Healing’ will seek to develop a framework of what trauma-informed practice might look like in an Irish context.
It will also feature a conversation with world renowned trauma expert, Dr Gabor Mate, who says :“Children don’t get traumatized because they get hurt; they get traumatized because they’re alone with the hurt. The common template for virtually all afflictions, mental illness, physical disease, is in fact, trauma.
Cco-chair of the event, Dr Sheila Gilheany, CEO of Alcohol Action Ireland, said that research carried out by Alcohol Action Ireland showed that education settings were a vital place to reach children who may have difficulties at home.
“Educators are extremely well placed to identify children experiencing harm from, for example, a trauma such as problem alcohol use in the home, which impacts development. The provision of training in relation to trauma-informed approaches and adverse children experiences (ACEs) should be implemented at teacher training level, and at all levels of professional development – from teachers to principals to education welfare officers to SNAs and administrative staff,”
