Irish Attachment in Action are pleased to be hosting an Online screening of Resilience with a selected panel discussion. Unfortunately,this is a closed session for Professionals in the Tipperary area, Ireland. This ground breaking documentary instigated conversations world wide around Trauma and it’s impact on the human condition,however the capacity for resilience and growth.

“Whilst society often portrays childhood as a time of hapiness and innocence, the sad reality for many children is that this is simply not true. In general, we assume that children are resilient and tough; we expect that they won’t clearly remember upsetting events from their earliest years in their later ones. However, will the mind may forget, this clever documentary highlights that the body still remembers. Resilience reveals how toxic stress in pre-teens can trigger hormones that can wreak havoc on their brains and bodies.”

Should you or your organisation be interested in having a screening or attending one, please email info@iaia.ie for further information.

 

On Tuesday 25th May 2021, the Heart of Frontline Practice collaborative group will hold its second national seminar for Ireland’s frontline practitioners.

Reconnecting with the Heart of Frontline Practice 2021′ is a one-day, virtual seminar to provide a safe and nourishing space for frontline practitioners to reflect on the impact of their work.

It is open to all frontline practitioners working in public, private or community roles in healthcare, social care, education and the justice sector.

The theme of this year’s seminar is ‘Vulnerability, humility and compassion at the frontline’.

The event will include stimulating presentations from guest speakers, interactive plenary sessions and facilitated break-out spaces.

The collaborative group behind the seminar – Ag Eisteacht, SHEP (The Social and Health Education Project) and Dr Nicola O’Sullivan, independent social care consultant – has a shared interest in supporting those working at the frontline.

Guest speakers will include Dr Aisling McMahon, a clinical psychologist, integrative psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, who will talk about ‘Vulnerability and humility in supervision relationships.’

Another guest speaker, Dr Tim Dartington, will explore reflective practice as one way of taking a breather at this time of difficulty and stress.

The seminar will also feature Dr Kate Lucre, a Birmingham-based compassion-focused therapist, who will explore compassion and self-compassion.

Feedback from attendees of last year’s Reconnecting with the Heart of Frontline Practice seminar showed that almost 97% of the respondents believed that the seminar had provided a safe space for them. 87.5% said that they felt reconnected with their work and what drew them into it, and 97% agreed that incorporating reflective practice into their work was important.

The fee for this one-day seminar is €50. Places are limited and booking is via Eventbrite or email sabrina@ageisteacht.com

Parent-Child Attachment Play (PCAP) is a very innovative and empowering early help attachment programme for parents and their children from 3-15+. It can be delivered with groups, 1:1 or through a home-visiting model.  Parents and carers are often concerned about their children’s behaviour and that by adopting a playful attachment approach they will somehow lose control over their family life.  In fact, the opposite is true.  When the parent-child relationship is working, helpful child behaviour generally follows and family life becomes more manageable.

 This 10-step programme is based on the latest attachment research which shows that supporting the parent-child attachment relationship sets the scene for the best outcomes for children right into adulthood.

 PCAP involves sharing three skills with parents and carers through interactive workshop-style sessions;

1.  Play (and the creation of a shoebox or bag of toys/activities designed around the preferences of the child)

2.  Containment (managing time, environment, emotions and helping children to make helpful choices)

3.  Head, Heart and Hands (an attachment tool based on evidence-based Reflective Functioning

 Courses are targeted towards professionals working with children and families not parents.
