Speaking Love to Children Who Have Experienced Trauma

This course explores how trauma, abuse, loss, and separation can shape a child’s understanding of love and relationships. Using the framework of the five love languages, participants will reflect on their own ways of expressing care and learn practical, trauma-informed strategies for communicating love to children who may struggle to feel safe, valued, and cared for.


Learners will consider how disrupted attachment affects a young person’s ability to receive love and will reflect on challenging questions such as whether their care will ever be felt, returned, or appreciated.


By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to build trusting, healing connections that support emotional safety and positive, lasting change.
