Supporting Children and Young people with anger and aggression
In this two-hour training, participants will learn about some of the root causes of anger and aggression and give valuable suggestions about how to work with it therapeutically. There will be plenty of time for questions.
This training will explore why some children and young people become reactive and even violent. We will look at the roots of antisocial (and prosocial) behaviour, and in that, unpick different kinds of aggression, such as reactive as opposed to proactive aggression. We will look at links between these issues and other forms of addictive behaviours such as sexual addictions, and worrying online behaviours. Much of Graham Music's understanding was developed during many years working with the aftermath of trauma in the Tavistock's fostering and adoption team and later at the Portman Clinic, especially with issues of violence , addiction and worrying sexual behaviour. The training will be taught (with slides and some video clips) and with time to think about case examples
7pm – 915pm Thursday 3rd April 2025 live via zoom. Cost: £20 per person.
