The Neurobiology of Success & Stress

This course is the third in a series of seven courses which form the Empowerment Approach training programme. This element of the approach is designed to help children understand and take control of their neurobiology, so they can feel great and do well.

  • A neuroinclusive approach to supporting children and young people which promotes a safe, calm and happy environment for all.

  • An approach which can be used in all contexts, from schools (and other educational provision), to clubs and the home, thereby creating consistency for children across all areas of their life.

  • A research-based approach incorporating neurobiology, psychology and coaching. Our programme embraces the latest understanding of trauma, attachment and neurodifference, translating theory into practical tools and utilising a wide range of visual aids.

  • Creates a common language for children, their parents / carers and all adults in and outside of school.

  • Gives children an understanding of their brain so they can build the skills and tools to succeed in learning, hobbies and friendship.

  • Provides a clear structure for responding to unhelpful or dangerous behaviours, empowering staff and parents alike and securing consistency for the child.

  • Equips all adults with the knowledge, skills and practical tools to look behind unhelpful or dangerous behaviours and effectively support children and young people to build the skills and strategies needed to feel great and achieve well.
