The RYPP is an evidence-based, whole-family intervention designed to help families heal from CAPVA (Child/ Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse). The intervention follows the trauma recovery model, establishing a foundation of safety in the home first, to allow guided relationship-building between parent and child to take place.

Building Skills is for young people struggling to manage harmful, explosive behaviour by helping them improve their ability to know and name their emotions and what they are feeling. For example, by developing the sense of interoception and building the mind/ body connection.

Interoception is an internal sensory system in which the physical and emotional states of the person are consciously or unconsciously noticed, recognised, and responded to. Difficulties in interoception can mean a young person may not spot the physical symptoms of stress, such as a fast heart rate or nervous butterflies.

Skills practice in interoception and mindfulness can help young people to become more aware of bodily sensations and their link to emotions. Helping them to remove themselves from tricky situations at the first sign of trouble. If you work with young people who do not know why they behave the way they do, this two-day course could be for you.

The accompanying manual provides 1:1 exercises and video resources for young people who need help to regulate their emotions to prevent violent outbursts.
