Navigating Connection
Creating Change Through Nervous System Regulation
A holistic package of support for your staff and parents, which ensures that children are at the centre. Staff and parents will have access to training and workshops, which will equip them with the knowledge and tools to bring about actual change to home and school life.

What’s included in Navigating Connection?
Navigating Connection works because we equip staff and families with the tools to be consistent, compassionate and connected for the children at your schools.
For staff:
-
1 x 3 hour Inset training session, or 2 x consecutive twilight sessions.
Covering topics such as:
Attachment Awareness
Sensory System Development
Polyvagal Approaches
PACE based skills
-
Following the programme, we’ll deliver a catch up session with staff to review anything that has come up since the training, or to go over the training materials.
For parents and families:
-
An introduction event at school to connect with parents, introduce the offer and answer any questions.
-
4 x 1.5 hour workshops (weekly). This will cover topics including:
How relationships shape the brain
The role of the nervous system
How the sensory system influences behaviour
How to connect and co-regulate
After each in person session, parents will receive resources and access to the parent portal which contains further information.
