To celebrate the publication of our new book, the Handbook of Transitions which draws on the work of Louise Michelle Bombèr updated and annotated by Andrea Perry, we are delighted to invite you to a special webinar. Louise has practised for 20 years as a specialist in supporting children in schools who have experienced relational trauma and loss, and is widely known for her many practical. innovative and inspiring books and presentations. Andrea Perry is an integrative psychotherapist and also the Commissioning Editor of Worth Publishing and a writer.
We all know that transitions are a big part of life. Everyone can find them challenging at times, and that includes all the children or young people in our schools today. So this webinar will be relevant to everyone who wants to support them through the stress and anxiety that change can sometimes bring about. And because of past experience, some pupils' capacity to navigate transitions well can be particularly challenged, especially when key protective factors are absent.
So what do we need to do, as the adults, to support all pupils to learn that transitions can be handled well, to enable them to have confidence in themselves going forward? Why is our own self-awareness and capacity for self-regulation so important in helping us do this? And what part do recent social changes play in managing transition? We'll be addressing core themes of power, control, choice, timing and pacing, creating safety, self and co-regulation, and much more, including key beginnings and endings, uncertainty and ambiguity, disappointment, sudden change, exclusions and their aftermath, and more.
The webinar will be interactive, last around one hour and will be recorded. If you would like to send us a question in advance, we'll do our best to address it live.
You might also like to know that The Handbook of Transitions is now available in all good bookshops and with a discount in our online
