Training: Understanding Toxic Shame

20 October 2025

Zoom | 10:00 – 13:00

Course Overview: Toxic shame is a huge underlying factor for some of the most challenging behaviours we see in traumatised children, and it is overwhelming for the child.

Sarah Dillon shares how children with toxic shame have missed out on vital developmental tools, how they will need to be supported with language, reassurance and in addition how difficult relationships can be. Sarah will share how we can practice kindness, understanding, and modelling mistakes and saying sorry, then the child will, in time, also develop these tools.
