As well as being taught by people at the cutting edge of therapeutic child care, you will have the opportunity to undertake international observations. These observations will support an area of child care that you choose to study - for example, the trauma of war on the developing child, or the impact of trauma on children displaced through violence. With the support of teaching staff you will work towards the production of a professional report which will be presented to an invited audience of professionals.
