Family Transitions| Children & Schools

Family change like separation, divorce, bereavement and illness affect so many children.

Our programme offers nervous-system-informed learning and practical body-based tools for children navigating family change, supported by school staff training and resources.

Children can practise skills without sharing their family story.

CPD-Certified for schools

Family Transitions: Supporting Children Through Change is CPD certified (CPD Provider No. 22284), covering twenty evidence-informed practices — including grounding, breathwork and body-based regulation through The S.H.I.F.T Method — alongside seven creative activities for processing big feelings.

In our early pilot, 75% of children were calmer or happier after the sessions — the first sign this approach works, and part of why we've since built it into a fully certified training programme for schools.

What children learn:

  • Breathing & movement techniques for emotional regulation.

  • How to understand what their body is telling them.

  • Creative ways to process big feelings.

  • That they're not alone in what they're going through.

Delivered via a train-the-school model. We work with your school staff to deliver the programme in small groups, building capacity and expertise within your team. This ensures sustainable, trauma-informed wellbeing support tailored to your school community.
