An E-Learning Course by Born at the Right Time Created by Rachel Wright, with leading voices in the field Welcome to the Masterclass in Parent Carer Trauma 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 Rooted in Lived Experience Informed by Research Delivering Actionable Solutions Who This Course is For? This masterclass is for professionals working in Special Educational Needs (SEN), health, education, and social care, including those in face-to-face, managerial, and commissioning roles. This is not a course in clinical diagnosis or treatment of trauma. Rather, it is designed for the many non-trauma specialist professionals who routinely work alongside families. It is for the myriad of practitioners whose interactions can either unintentionally cause harm or become a source of empowerment. What You’ll Gain A clear understanding of how trauma is expressed in parent carers Insight into systems-generated trauma and the unintended potential harm from repetitive assessments, fragmented services, and disempowering practices Knowledge of the impact of trauma on parent carer health and well-being, including suicide risk The unseen negative impact parent carer trauma has on practitioners and the systems they work within Practical strategies to create safe, trusting relationships with parent carers Communication strategies that prioritise empathy, respect, and emotional regulation A trauma-informed lens that supports collaboration, co-production and personalised care Reflection opportunities to consider how you and your service can make meaningful change 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: Dr Joanna Griffin – Counselling Psychologist, parent carer, author of Day by Day, and founder of Affinity Hub Dr Julie Calveley – Learning Disability Nurse, Founder of NAC, specialising in trauma and wellbeing in people with complex disabilities Dr Ana Aiello – completed her PhD at the School of Law, University of Leeds. Currently working as the Cerebra Postdoctoral Researcher at Leeds University. Dr Siobhan O’Dwyer – Associate Professor in Social Care at Birmingham University, leading international research into parent carer suicide and homicide Dr George Julian – Journalist and knowledge transfer consultant focused on the deaths of learning disabled and autistic people Elly Chapple – Dynamic speaker, inclusion advocate and change-maker, known for her message to #FlipTheNarrative 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. Course Features Interactive content and reflection activities Real-life case studies and downloadable tools Evidence-informed strategies you can apply immediately Learn at your own pace, anytime Certificate of completion provided Testimonials Take the Next Step Join a community of professionals who are reimagining what it means to work with families. This course is a call to action—one that moves beyond awareness into meaningful, compassionate practice. ➡️ Enrol now in the Masterclass in Parent Carer Trauma. 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. This is a flexible e-learning course, which can also be delivered in-person by Born at the Right Time’s experienced trainers.

Creating sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs (SEND) Webinar recording Do you want to create sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), but don’t know where to start? About this training In the UK, 11% of children are disabled and in England, 18.4% have special educational needs. Adding non-disabled siblings to these numbers increases this potential audience to a fifth of children in the UK. This simple fact is a powerful advocacy tool to make a business case for SEND inclusion in your museum. One way to support SEND families during a visit is to create a sensory backpack. These resources don’t cost a lot to create, and they can make a powerful difference to a SEND family’s visit. Their economic impact, promoting a longer dwell time and potentially greater spend in the museum, pays back an initial investment quickly. In this session, SEND in Museums Consultant Sam Bowen will guide you through how to create a sensory backpack, drawing on her own professional museum learning knowledge and lived experience as a parent of a child with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). During this virtual training event, we will: · Understand the barriers SEND families face when visiting museums, · Explore examples of best practice in museums for creating sensory backpacks, · Share top tips on how to create backpacks that are bespoke for your setting. Take a look at the full schedule. Who should attend? This training is aimed at staff at museums, art galleries and heritage sites who are interested in making their organisations more welcoming to families with SEND. Please note, this is a recording of a session which took place on 4 June 2025.

Recognizing the brilliance of someone psychological disturbance normalizes their experience and opens the door to transformative change. We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy. This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Invention- between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Dr. Betty Cannon “When I first saw the topic of this year’s dialogues, I asked myself whether I had anything to contribute. After all, I told myself, I do not usually work with psychoses or other so-called ‘extreme’ or’ irregular’ states of consciousness. This started me thinking about a series of demonstration videos that I have been making with students and supervisees over the last couple of years as part of a book project. Do those videos display ‘extreme states’? To my surprise, the answer is yes. They are filled with experiences that might be described as hallucinations (positive and negative), dissociative states, paranoia, delusions, manic and depressive states, crippling anxiety, schizoid withdrawal, depersonalization and derealization, and body dysmorphic phenomena. Not to mention the so-called normal neurotic trances that Freud called transference, countertransference and defenses, psychedelically induced extreme states, and those nightly hallucinations, our dreams. So why did I not remember at least some of these states as being ‘extreme’? Perhaps the answer lies in my perspective on therapy, which is largely existential-phenomenological. I think that the following quote, from a letter that Sartre wrote to R.D. Laing, captures the essence of this perspective: “Like you, I believe that one cannot understand psychological disturbances from the outside, on the basis of a positivistic determinism or reconstruct them with a combination of concepts that remain outside the experience as lived and experienced. I also believe that one cannot study, let alone cure, a neurosis without a fundamental respect for the person of the patient, without a constant effort to grasp the basic situation and relive it, without an attempt to rediscover the response of the person to that situation and––like you, I think––I regard mental illness as the ‘way out’ that the free organism, in its total unity, invents in order to be able to live through an intolerable situation.”* When a client and I together are able to appreciate the true brilliance of this invention, my experience is that it not only normalizes the client’s experience, it also opens the doorway to change. It allows us to invent something new.” Dr. Betty Cannon. Betty Cannon, PhD, is a licensed psychologist who has taught and practiced in Boulder, Colorado, for over 40 years. She is Professor Emerita of the Colorado School of Mines and president and founder of the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute, which has trained mental health professionals in Applied Existential Psychotherapy since 1989. In addition to existential philosophy, especially the philosophy of Sartre, AEP has roots in Gestalt therapy, classical and contemporary psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology (especially the person-centered therapy of Carl Rogers), and body-oriented psychotherapy. Betty is a member of the editorial boards of the Journal for the Society of Existential Analysis and Sartre Studies International. She is the author of Sartre and Psychoanalysis and numerous articles and chapters on existential therapy. Her mentor was Hazel E. Barnes, who translated Sartre into English and who was the world’s foremost Sartre scholar until her death in 2008. Betty is her literary executor, and her book on Sartre is dedicated to Hazel. Prof. Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy, supervision, psychology, and executive coaching. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as an APECS accredited executive coach and coaching supervisor. In 2000, he was the Recipient of BPS Division of Counselling Psychology Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Profession. And in 2019, Ernesto received the BPS Award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice. His most recent book, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World 2nd edition (Sage, 2015) has been widely praised as a major contribution to the advancement of existential theory and practice. Living up to the existential dictum that life is absurd, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels.

Hysteria’s history, rooted in Greek myth, evolved into a Victorian belief of a “wandering uterus” leading to disturbing medical practices. We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy. This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Hysteria- between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Bárbara Godoy “In this talk, I will compare the Histerical patient to the ancient Greek myth of Persephone, the goddess who traversed the boundaries between the world of the living and the underworld. Just as Persephone’s cyclical descent and return mirrored the changing seasons, hysteria was seen as a condition where emotions and experiences defied easy classification. This notion of transgressing boundaries became a cornerstone of early psychoanalysis. In Victorian times, hysteria took a decidedly bizarre turn. Here, the culprit was believed to be a mobile womb, an organ capable of throwing into disorder and confusion. This “wandering womb” was blamed for a variety of ailments and behaviours, particularly any expression of female desire out-of-wedlock. In a truly disturbing reflection of these beliefs, legal rulings based on this theory emerged. In some cases, women diagnosed with hysteria could be forced to undergo a hysterectomy.” Bárbara Godoy. Bárbara Godoy M.A., Adv. Dip. Exi. Psy, UKCP accredited Psychotherapist and Supervisor, MBACP and SEA – Director of Therapy Harley Street. Bárbara’s academic experience in London since 2008 includes lecturing and researching on the theory and practice of Phenomenological Existential Therapy on Doctorate, MA and professional courses at the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology, Regent’s University and the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling directed by Emmy van Deurzen. Bárbara has facilitated therapeutic Group Work internationally since 1997. The question about the meaning of Being-Woman was the topic of her thesis completed in 2005 and evolved into two main Women’s Groups: “Nine muses” and “Four Seasons” which she leads in addition to her individual private practice. Currently, as the clinical director of THS, Bárbara leads a team of over 20 professional practitioners in the area of Psychological services and Wellbeing consultancy. Bárbara is also the founder-director of THS’s Personal Development and CPD Programmes.
