The e-module Trauma Informed Interactions has been prepared by Aberdeen City Council’s Educational Psychology Service. The knowledge and skills covered within the module sit within the "Trauma Informed" level of National Trauma Transformational Programme (NTTP). The content is therefore applicable to all working within the Scottish workforce.
This 20 minute e-module will help staff learn how they can de-escalate situations by promoting safety, understanding, and empathy. By recognising that past trauma can influence current behaviour, individuals can respond with compassion and avoid triggering further distress. This approach emphasises building trust, respecting personal space, actively listening, and validating emotions, ultimately creating a safer and more supportive environment for everyone involved.
Welcome to the Teenage Brain! Our understanding of teenage brain development has increased so much in recent years. Did you know, the teenage brain undergoes huge growth and change, almost as much as when they were a toddler?
Our aim is to celebrate the learning potential of the adolescence brain. The brain of a teenager is changing, learning and growing! There are big changes in the teenage brain and we want to tap into this time of change and also the huge potential our brains have!

This training aims to support schools, educational settings and individual practitioners to develop their knowledge and skills in relation to Emotion Coaching. Emotion Coaching is an approach to supporting learners with their emotional regulation and uses moments of heightened behaviour to teach learners about more effective responses.
The digital training consists of three sections. Each section contains pre-recorded videos which include activities and opportunities for reflection.
It is recommended that you allow approximately 3.5 hour for this digital training. 45-60 minutes for section 1 and 2, and around 90 minutes for section 3. There is a short quiz to complete at the end..
Following completion of the digital training, you will receive a minimum of two follow-up coaching sessions, facilitated by the EPS, to help you to reflect on the training and consider the ongoing implementation of Emotion Coaching in your setting.
