Trauma-informed, relationship-led support across the UK

I support schools, colleges, trusts, local authorities, charities and community organisations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to create cultures where children, young people and adults experience greater safety, connection and belonging.

Every programme is independently developed and delivered through Healing Young Hearts. Support can begin with a focused training session or develop into a longer-term implementation partnership tailored to your context.

Choose the support that fits your starting point

Whole-organisation training

Engaging, reflective and practical training for whole staff teams and professional groups.

Possible areas include

  • Trauma-informed and relationship-led practice
  • Behaviour, stress and regulation
  • Attachment and developmental trauma
  • Belonging, inclusion and emotional safety
  • Neurodiversity-affirming practice
  • Staff wellbeing and secondary trauma

Available as focused sessions, full-day programmes or a tailored series delivered online, in person or through a blended model.

Leadership and culture development

Support for leaders who want to move beyond isolated initiatives and develop greater consistency across policy, culture and everyday practice.

This may include

  • Leadership development sessions
  • Behaviour, relationships and culture review
  • Policy review and development
  • Strategic implementation planning
  • Leadership reflection and coaching
  • Staff, student and stakeholder voice

Healing Young Hearts Implementation Partnership

A sustained partnership for organisations ready to embed trauma-informed, relationship-led and belonging-centred practice across the system—not simply deliver another training day.

A partnership may include

  • A baseline review of current strengths, pressures and priorities
  • Leadership planning and implementation support
  • Regular on-site visits
  • Online coaching and consultation between visits
  • Policy and practice development
  • Support with staff engagement and reflective practice
  • A proportionate impact and learning framework
  • End-of-cycle review and recommendations

The partnership is shaped around the organisation’s size, context, existing strengths and priorities.

Specialist consultancy, supervision and speaking

Focused support is also available for organisations requiring a specific piece of work, including:

  • Trauma-informed audits and reviews
  • Behaviour, inclusion and belonging strategy
  • Pastoral and safeguarding team development
  • Conference speaking and keynote presentations
  • Facilitation for leadership, trust-wide or multi-agency events

Reflective practice and supervision

Healing Young Hearts works with highly experienced supervisors who offer individual and group reflective practice for professionals undertaking emotionally demanding work.

Reflective practice can be arranged on its own, or built into a wider programme of support. Frequency and group size are agreed with each organisation.

Available for

  • Individual reflective supervision
  • Group and team supervision
  • Pastoral and student support teams
  • Designated safeguarding leads
  • Leadership and senior teams

What the work is designed to strengthen

  • Greater emotional and relational safety
  • More consistent adult responses to stress and behaviour
  • Stronger belonging and inclusion
  • Leadership clarity and shared language
  • Policies that align with relational practice
  • Staff confidence, reflection and sustainability
  • Implementation that can be understood, reviewed and improved over time

Delivery across the UK

Support is available online, in person and through blended programmes. Travel and accommodation requirements are agreed clearly at quotation stage. Programmes can be commissioned by an individual setting, a group of schools or colleges, a trust, a local authority, a charity or a wider partnership.
