Disability Supports and Upholding Rights: Using a Relational Neuroscience and Trauma-Informed Lens
If you work alongside disabled children, young people or adults, workshop will strengthen your ability to engage and support with confidence, compassion and practical skills using relational neuroscience & trauma-informed care principles.
Upcoming session(s)
18 JUN 2026
9:00am-3:30pm
Grounded in relational neuroscience, trauma-informed practice and disability rights frameworks in Aotearoa, this workshop explores how trauma impacts the nervous system, how distress shows up in behaviour, and how support practices can either reduce harm or unintentionally add to it.
You will grow your awareness about how your own nervous system, narratives, and dysfunctional coping mechanisms impact everyday interactions and relationships, and deepen your understanding of co-regulation, de-escalation and relational safety.
Participants will leave with practical tools that can be used immediately — building connection, trust, reducing distress and supporting disabled people to feel genuinely valued, safe and heard.
