Morrison & Shepherd (2015) established that looked-after children were amongst the most vulnerable in society. Young people in care were disadvantaged across their developmental trajectories, which had an impact upon health, social care, and educational systems. This made the people working with them daily very important. Our organization, together with our partner organizations, do their utmost in providing young people in residential care with a safe space that empowers the young persons’ involvement and voice, identifies trauma-related needs at individual and systemic levels, nurtures a culture of well-being and resilience for individuals and the organization, and works with a whole systems approach, supporting cross-agency collaboration and integrated communication. Therapeutic models and approaches applied to the residential childcare setting usually aimed to create a nurturing culture through positive secure relationships and building resilience. Indeed, these topics had been brought up before, and training courses had been delivered around these needs. This was not enough. Since the young people in residential care had experienced multi-type trauma and disadvantage, staff were required to understand the communicative needs and emotions underlying behaviors, and that staff and children would require support (McCarthy et al., 2013 and Whittaker et al., 2015). Youth workers as well as other staff working with young people in residential care needed to be equipped with further competences on how to offer structure, safety, and connectedness. In order to develop healthy attachments, it was important that those working with young people in residential care got more familiar through added knowledge and hands-on skills with therapeutic parenting. This need was brought up by the staff within our organizations, and through further discussions with the trainer, it was decided to carry out this project. Therapeutic parenting aimed at helping adolescents feel safe again, especially around adults. This was particularly useful with children who had suffered some level of trauma in their lives, particularly in the early years and mostly if it involved neglect, amongst others. These young people tended to present emotional and behavioral difficulties and so required a different style of ‘parenting’ that better met their specific needs. It was a highly nurturing way of parenting that aimed towards establishing safety and was particularly targeted for children who had or were in residential care. The main aim of this project was thus to offer training to the staff in therapeutic parenting to develop new skills in how to better meet the individual needs of these young persons. It also aimed at offering consistency and containing in the care offered. This was mostly based on building safe, strong relationships that combined affection and comforting along with clear behavioral expectations and routines. This would be achieved through the following objectives that would ultimately assist the participants to: - Develop skills to communicate in a trauma-focused environment. The participants have been equipped with new methods on how to communicate with respect, safely, and clearly with young persons who had been through trauma. - Practice finding good and positive in every young person and help them to verbalize such praise. - Develop skills in emotion coaching and trauma by expanding the emotional language of the participants to find ways how to communicate that are supportive rather than disruptive. - Enhance the participants’ knowledge in dealing with challenging behavior, tantrums, and defiant behaviors. - Discover new and different ways how to enhance motivation, setting up value systems as well as setting boundaries and practicing positive discipline by keeping in mind a person-centered approach.
