The First 1,000 Days: Understanding Attachment, Trauma and Early Development- Training Video

Explore the remarkable first 1,000 days of life – from conception to around a child’s second birthday – and discover how our earliest experiences can help shape attachment, emotional regulation, resilience and relationships.

In this approximately 2-hour instant-access online training, Dr Chris and Pauline Andrew invite you on a fascinating journey into the earliest stages of human development, exploring what happens before we can remember and considering how these experiences may continue to influence us throughout life.

The training explores experiences in the womb, around birth and within our earliest relationships, considering how these can shape the developing child and how their influence may later be reflected in the stories, struggles and strengths clients bring into the counselling room.

What you’ll explore

• Why the first 1,000 days are such an important period of development
• Experiences from conception through to around a child’s second birthday
