Childhood trauma, migration and asylum: animation and toolkit for education settings
An animation and accompanying toolkit for education staff working with children and young people who have been affected by war, migration and asylum.
The process of relocating following war, violence or persecution is complicated by the impact that these events have on young people. Sometimes these events are traumatic, and the effects of this trauma can be short, or long-lasting.
This animation and toolkit is designed to help education staff working with children and young people who are seeking asylum. It will help staff better understand the trauma young people may have experienced and how best to support them.
It covers areas including:
-
an overview of some of the experiences of trauma of children and young people seeking asylum
-
recognising reactions to trauma
-
responding to trauma in children and young people
-
supporting your own wellbeing
