For both children and carers it is essential to manage transitions well and prevent them from turning into destructive endings. For this to happen, carers need and deserve the best help available. Agencies owe it to carers to prepare them as well as possible. This course aims to help carers help traumatised children and themselves to face change and loss in a managed and constructive way. Understanding the effects of transitions and endings can give carers an insight into why these times may be so difficult. It can help carers to manage their own feelings of loss and grief, and give them the knowledge to help a child to successfully come through the changes facing him or her. Subjects covered include the importance of attachment and resilience, trauma and the impact of secondary traumatic stress, and promoting and managing constructive endings.
