At bMindful Psychology, we are passionate about equipping professionals and caregivers with the skills and knowledge to provide truly therapeutic care for children with complex needs. Our half-day training course, ‘Therapeutic Parenting and PACE,’ offers invaluable insight into trauma-informed care and the impact of nurturing relationships on a child's development.
What is PACE?
PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy) is an innovative and highly effective approach developed by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Dan Hughes. It is designed to strengthen relationships between caregivers and children, particularly those who have experienced trauma attachment difficulties. By embracing PACE, professionals and caregivers can create safe, trusting environments that promote healing and emotional well-being.
The PACE model is widely recognised as a transformative method of care within children’s residential homes, fostering agencies, and educational settings.
