Therapeutic Parenting for Children Traumatised by Domestic Violence
The damage inflicted on a child as a result of domestic violence - be it physical or emotional - can have a catastrophic effect on their young lives. In this episode, Rachel Cawthorn, helps us to understand why this is the case and what physiological changes take place in a child as a result of this abuse. Rachel is a social work student and was a senior practitioner in substance misuse for 15 years. She also experienced domestic violence as a child and, as a result, entered into two toxic relationships as a young adult which took their toll on her four children. All this is now firmly in Rachel's past but no one could be better placed to understand the damage inflicted by this kind of abuse. This is why her advice on how to apply therapeutic parenting's kind and gentle techniques is worth heeding. *The Centre of Excellence in Child Trauma is an umbrella organisation combining resources, research and knowledge from cutting edge experts in the sector – Inspire Training Group, National Association of Therapeutic Parents, Sarah Naish – Keynote Speaker and Author, The Haven – Parenting and Wellbeing Centre and Safer Fostering.
