Why PACE is the Bridge: From Regulation to Relational Safety
Join us for a free online session exploring how PACE can support safety and connection during challenging moments.
In this session:
- We will explore why PACE works best not as a technique, but as a shared, trauma‑informed relational stance that supports connection even in moments of stress.
- We will look at how PACE can reduce threat, shame and power struggles during escalation or shutdown, helping adults stay regulated so young people can borrow that regulation.
- We will consider how to recognise relational ruptures when they happen, and how to repair them in ways that strengthen trust, safety and connection over time.
It's wasn't me. A PACEful approach to understanding and addressing lying, stealing and aggression
How often have you heard, ‘It wasn’t me!’ Honest”!’ Join us for a free online session to explore a PACEful approach to understanding aggression, lying and stealing.
In this session:
- We will look at some of the underlying reasons around why children and young people may be aggressive, lie or steal, acknowledging that these behaviours can really challenge the relationship between carers and young people.
- We will offer some PACEful practical strategies that carers can use both ‘in the moment’ and longer term, to manage these kinds of presenting behaviours.
- Looking in depth at lying and stealing and aggression will build confidence to manage these challenging issues.
