Online PACE Training for All – Jan to March 2024 (NEW twilight delivery)

January 23, 2024, 6:00 pm

Scottish Attachment in Action is certificated and supported by DDPI to offer PACE training. We are excited to pilot a new twilight delivery model for DDP PACE training.  This innovative approach will allow DDP PACE training to be delivered in five two and a half hour(5 x 2.5 hrs) evening sessions in an online format. This DDP PACE Training Course is certificated by the The Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Institute (DDPI).

Twilight PACE Training September is taking place on:

  • Sessions are delivered via Team from 6.00pm – 8.30pm on 23rd Jan, 6th and 20th Feb, 5th and 19th March 2024.
  • PACE is training to support adults to build safe, trusting and meaningful relationships with children and young people who have experienced trauma.
  • PACE (Playful, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) is the core therapeutic, relational attitude of DDP (Dyadic Developmental Practice).
  • This 12.5 hour course aligns with the Skilled Practitioner, NES National Trauma Training Programme. It is designed to offer both an understanding of the impact of relational trauma on all aspects of children and young people’s development and to offer practical strategies that will support positive emotional, social, educational and behavioural change.
  • This training is suitable for a range of practitioners working in education, social work and health settings as well as for adoptive parents, foster and kinship carers.
