Going beyond awareness to meaningful action

This powerful and timely course explores the trauma experienced by parent carers. Drawing on the latest research and the expertise of professionals with lived experience, this course offers practical, responsive strategies for professionals working across health, education, and social care.

Parent carers are often navigating extreme and ongoing stress while advocating for their children and working alongside hard working practitioners within often fragmented and uncoordinated systems. This course helps to understand, recognise, and respond to that trauma with empathy, authority, and actionable care.

As with all Born at the Right Time training, this course will be

Learning Outcomes

Learn From Leading Voices

This course features insights and teaching from some of the most respected names in the fields of trauma, disability, and parent carer lived experience including:

Why This Matters

Parent carers save the UK economy over £132 billion annually through their unpaid labour (Carers UK, 2020), yet face chronic stress and deteriorating health outcomes (Miodrag & Hodapp, 2010; Fraser, 2023). Systems often inadvertently cause further trauma, eroding trust and damaging relationships.

As a practitioner, you have the power to reduce harm and promote a safe, collaborative environment. By understanding trauma and responding with empathy, clarity, and purpose—you can help create environments that promote safety, dignity, and growth.

Testimonials

“The layers of trauma families of individuals with complex needs live through are just extraordinary, and can too easily become a part of the norm professionals expect from them. This course will help you identify and counter trauma, ensuring you're part of the solution rather than the problem. It is good stuff and it will create positive change.”
Dr Joanna Grace

“Really insightful and useful training that will definitely help both my practice and hopefully the practice of others moving forward.”
Rachel Paynter MDT Coordinator - Children's Hospice (Delegate: Nov 2025)

Inclusion and Diversity Statement

We acknowledge that trauma is experienced differently depending on intersectional identities. Race, gender, sexuality, disability, culture, and class profoundly shape how families encounter and navigate trauma. At Born at the Right Time, we are committed to inclusive, equitable practice that recognises and values the rich diversity of all families. We strive to amplify marginalised voices and challenge the structural inequalities that continue to impact outcomes for parent carers and their children.

Content Warning

This course contains accounts of traumatic lived experiences, including discussions of suicide, homicide, and systemic injustice. We encourage participants to engage with care and consider their own wellbeing while participating in this training.
