Emotional abuse contributes to a range of social, physical and psychological issues. However, despite its high prevalence and associated poor outcomes, emotional abuse remains poorly understood across much of the child and family sector.
This webinar will explore some of the risk factors of childhood emotional abuse and how to recognise, respond to and prevent this form of maltreatment – with a focus on empathising with the parents you work with and understanding why they might be engaging with their children in this way.
This webinar will provide:
- insight into the nature and impact of emotional abuse
- ways to identify risks and protective factors associated with emotional abuse within the family context
- insight into how to prevent emotional abuse – with a particular focus on parental support
- tactics for how to start conversations about emotional abuse with parents and children.
Please direct all queries to the organiser.
