Sign up, sign up! There are still places on my planned 8-week online adult ed course on "Childhood Trauma, Consequences and Essential Responses". It will kick off on Monday the 4th of October at 19:00 Irish time (if ten people sign up!). ALL are welcome. I'd especially be delighted if some trauma survivors join, as well as curious parents, doctors, early years practitioners, teachers, social workers, police, lawyers, judges, addiction counsellors, receptionists - and everyone in between.
